Growing With Purpose: Our Next Step Forward

March 28th 2025
As our industry has expanded, so too has High Tech Finishing and as a result we have outgrown our home of the past forty-one years. As such, we have purchased a new building in north-west Houston. The address for which is:
5425 North Sam Houston Parkway West,
Houston, Texas, 77086, United States of America

Our new building is a substantive upgrade on our current location as it provides a significant increase in floor space, all under one roof. It has allowed us to redesign the layout of our departments, which has been done with a Lean Manufacturing philosophy in mind.
Working with city officials, safety and environmental professionals, insurance advisors, architectural experts and plating industry specialists, we have built a truly world-class facility to ensure that High Tech Finishing continues to deliver the best quality decorative plating hardware in the aerospace industry. We expect to begin our transition to our new building in June. Our success stems from our experience and we are proud that our exceptional team is excited to make the fifteen-mile move north as we embark on the next chapter of our company.
We are in the process of transferring our FAA Repair Station, ISO 9001 and AS9100 certificates to our new address. It is important to highlight that we will continue to operate our existing facility simultaneously. This will ensure a seamless transition and prevent any disruption to our delivery schedules.
Along with the building, we are installing new state of the art plating and anodizing lines. These lines have been designed to provide additional capacity, while improving quality and efficiency. To eliminate environmental risks, the plating line incorporates a new waste-water treatment system that will remove all metal contaminants, balance pH and destroy other chemicals before being discharged. Every plating tank also includes a new air-scrubber system to remove acidic/caustic vapor before the air is ventilated to the atmosphere. Importantly, new safety devices are in place, such as hot-water heating instead of electrical heating to eliminate the risk of fire, electronic air quality monitoring to eliminate the risk of vapor build-up and electronic monitoring of solution pH, to eliminate the risk of corrosion.
On behalf of the High Tech Finishing team, I am honored to share this news with you and we look forward to continuing our partnership into the future.

Simon Haining
President of High Tech Finishing
