Akron Plating Co., based in Akron, Ohio, focuses on continuous improvement and quality standards. Founded in 1948, the company was taken over by Steven Marshall in January 2024. Its 10,000-square-foot facility includes a wastewater treatment area, a Nadcap-certified lab, and production lines for various plating services.

The company installed a new wastewater treatment system in February 2025. Nadcap certification has been crucial for growth, especially in the aerospace sector, while also attracting automotive clients. Plans include automating production lines and enhancing service offerings to local machine shops.
