Here in Houston our manufacturing base is plenty busy with petrochem/oil biz as well as an amazing array of other products. My men started plating parts at 0500 this a.m. and will be here tomorrow as well because we have four rush orders to finish by Monday. Our turnaround cannot be beat and our quality is far above the imported stuff. No one wants to risk his life with a part machined overseas when the part will see 25000 PSI. I often cadmium plate aircraft fasteners that ship out to Brazil, Germany, or Japan.
I thought the EPA chased all the cad platers out of the country. Is that all you plate?
