We are one of the largest industrial powder coaters in the Midwest and the largest in Wisconsin. We provide e-coating, wet painting, full assembly including UL certification, in addition to batch work and blasting services.
Founded in 1986, Hartford Finishing, Inc. started with a new technology, a single powder painting line, and less than 20 employees. Almost 30 years later, we have grown into one of the largest contract powder coaters in the midwest - and the largest in Wisconsin.
We now have 220 employees that bring our 300,000 square feet of facilities in Hartford, Wisconsin to life. Hartford Finishing has six separate state of the art powder painting systems, a full service assembly area, stripping center, wet paint line and 16 loading docks. Over the years we've evolved to offer various coating services to meet industry demands.
Our #1 priority since our founding is our commitment to customer service. That is why we carry over 500 colors in stock, and the equipment capacity to turn around jobs quickly. We can custom match colors, work with difficult and intricate masking requirements, and complete almost any assembly requirement necessary. We also continually update our equipment with the latest technology found in the industry. With our people, quality, technology and experience, we can fulfill your company's coating and fulfillment requirements now... and in the future. We will remain committed to customer service to ensure our success and yours.
