HOUSTON— HighTech Finishing, the industry's leading decorative plating supplier, reports 2005 sales to be the highest since 2001. HighTech attributes this increase to demand for new aircraft as well as increased activity in refurbished aircraft. In addition, HighTech's future growth will be bolstered by being selected to supply decorative plating on three new aircraft programs.
Over the past 12 months, HighTech Finishing has been specified for three upcoming Very Light Jet (VLJ) programs: the Sino Swearingen SJ30-2, Eclipse 500 and Embraer Phenom100 /300. Future owners of these aircraft will be assured that their interior decorative plating will enhance their interiors for many years to come.
“The past year was truly fantastic for HighTech Finishing and 2006 is already shaping up to be a great year as well,” said Rick Niefield, vice president of sales and marketing for HighTech Finishing. “We are very excited to be part of the burgeoning VLJ market. Our consistent commitment to producing only the highest quality interior decorative plating combined with superior turn-times and unbeatable customer service has given us the edge in this industry.”
Currently, HighTech is working with leading-edge designers to anticipate future aircraft interior design trends and researching new plating finishes to complement these looks. The company is also considering its second facility expansion of this decade to meet the needs of its customers.
Even with its remarkable growth, HighTech remains focused on continuous improvement as is evidenced through its recent ISO9001/AS9100 recertification. “This certification ensures the customer that our production processes are consistent day in and day out,” said Niefield. HighTech is the only company dedicated to aviation decorative plating to have received the ISO9001/AS9100 certification.
For more than 20 years, HighTech Finishing has exclusively served the aviation industry, supplying superior-quality decorative metal plating for interior hardware and trim parts for business and head-of-state aircraft. From design implementation to zero-defect quality production, HighTech Finishing offers more than 130 standard finishes and unlimited custom-matched capabilities and has the largest available processing capacity in the aviation market.
