Company Overview
Magnaplate, established in 1952 in Hoboken, New Jersey, has over 70 years of expertise in developing advanced surface treatments. Founded by Dr. Charles P. Covino, the company initially focused on enhancing metal performance for demanding applications in outer space, including spacecraft and lunar systems. Today, Magnaplate's mission is to resolve challenging industrial problems by providing quality surface enhancements, continuously improving its processes, and operating with environmental consciousness. The company's vision centers on promoting sustainable business practices while delivering protective coatings for equipment in even the harshest conditions.
Engineered Surface Treatments
Magnaplate offers a comprehensive portfolio of proprietary engineered coatings designed to improve part performance and boost productivity by solving friction, wear, contamination, and release issues. Key offerings include TUFRAM® and Magnaplate HCR® for aluminum, providing superior wear and corrosion resistance; CANADIZE® for titanium, which prevents hydrogen embrittlement; and MAGNADIZE® for magnesium, protecting against oxidation and galling. The Nedox® series offers harder-than-steel, self-lubricating electroless nickel-based coatings for various metals, while PLASMADIZE® provides enhanced thermal spray composites for extended wear life and release properties. LECTROFLUOR® polymer-based coatings deliver chemical and corrosion resistance, and MAGNAGOLD® and GOLDENEDGE® titanium nitride PVD coatings offer extreme wear protection and maintain sharpness for cutting tools. DYNALOY® provides an ultra-thin, dense chrome coating for wear protection without affecting tolerances.
Technical Capabilities and Industry Standards
The company maintains significant processing capabilities, featuring large tank capacities that exceed typical industry standards for various coating types, enabling the treatment of substantial parts. Magnaplate's commitment to quality is underscored by its Nadcap, AS9100:D, and ISO 9001:2015 certifications. Many of its coatings are FDA- and USDA-compliant, suitable for sensitive applications in food, pharmaceutical, and medical industries, and the company offers PFAS-free options. Magnaplate's surface treatments also comply with numerous federal and military specifications, demonstrating their reliability in critical sectors such as Aerospace and Defense, Chemical Processing, Manufacturing and Automation, Oil and Gas, and Packaging.
