Overview of the Erie Plating Company

History of the Erie Plating Company

83 years ago, a small plating company was founded in Erie, Pennsylvania. Since those humble beginnings in 1925, and through the Great Depression, World War II, and many technological innovations, The Erie Plating Company has remained a pioneer in the metal finishing industry. We continued to grow through the decades --- in the 1970s we acquired our current facility on West 12th Street, in the 1980s we innovated new automation systems, in the 1990s we digitized our information systems for maximum efficiency, and in this decade we've made great strides in the area of environmental protection.
