Zinc and Black Trivalent Chromate Plated Parts

When Varland Plating (Cincinnati, Ohio) embarked on its journey with zinc and black trivalent chromate plating, its vision was clear: it wanted to stand out. Navigating through various chemical suppliers and formulas was challenging, especially because the company exclusively provides barrel plating. Nonetheless, the company, which was founded in 1946, dedicated countless hours and resources to devise a process that not only ensures consistent quality but also delivers an aesthetically superior finish.

Varland’s collaboration with Madison Fasteners in Hanover, Indiana, is a testament to this dedication. Tasked with supplying fasteners to an aftermarket ATV/UTV company, Madison Fasteners has repeatedly expressed satisfaction with the zinc and trivalent black chromate finish the company provides them, so much so that they’re progressively transitioning more and more of their product line to this finish.

“This is a testament to Varland Plating’s commitment and tenacity,” says Andrea Wilson, administrative specialist at Varland. “Our relentless pursuit of excellence continues to meet our customers’ expectations and boost sales, even amidst intricate and difficult processes.”
