SOUTHWEST PLATING NAMED “WHITFORD QUALITY APPROVED COATER”
Whitford, makers of the world’s largest, most complete
line of fluoropolymer coatings, has launched a “Quality
Approved Coater” program in the United
States that recognizes a limited number of
coating applicators who meet strict criteria
set by Whitford.
The program was originally tested in
the oil industry in Asia, where it met with
great success. It consists of a select group
of applicators who have proven their
capacity to provide coated fasteners that
meet a list of strict standards established
by Whitford. Its objective is to assure
consistently high quality in coated
fasteners.
Now it comes to the United States, and Southwestern
Plating of Houston, TX, is the first member to qualify for
BUSINESS FOCUS ARTICLE
Whitford’s QAC award.
Southwestern Plating is a customer-focused metal
finishing and industrial coatings company
that has served manufacturers in diverse
industries across North America and
around the globe for more than 65 years.
Reports Bill Pernice of Whitford, “We’ve
got nothing but praise for the team of
dedicated personnel at Southwestern
Plating for their continuous improvement in
meeting the rigorous QAC requirements
that we’ve set, and doing so in record
time.”
Says Matt Ferguson of Southwestern
Plating, “We thank Whitford for this unique
recognition and for the consistently high level of technical
support that they have always provided us.”
