The media brand about surface finishing and technology
Products Finishing is the media brand devoted to all things finishing. Electroplaters, anodizers, liquid and powder coaters have all come to rely on Products Finishing magazine as their No. 1 source for surface finishing news and technology for more than 80 years. That’s because our feature stories and how-to case studies resonate with our readers—the job shop owners and OEMs who specialize in coatings.
Our coverage is aimed at manufacturing leaders. Products Finishing provides our readers with information and research on the latest equipment, technology, processes and best practices to help them stay profitable and efficient. Whether it is about equipment and supplies for plating, liquid and powder coating, anodizing, electrocoating, parts cleaning, pretreatment or mechanical finishing, we’ve got it covered and we deliver that information to the industry’s leading decision-makers. We cover everything from finishing and coating news and product releases to expert interviews, and our website and social media channels are updated daily with new content.
