Make sure your product looks good, lasts longer.
Mid-States Aluminum believes that offering complete, turnkey service is our greatest value. Our in-house aluminum anodizing facility is a state-of-the-art operation with complete quality and environmental controls in place 24/7. We’re able to offer several standard colors, plus numerous color variations ranging from champagne to black, standard or custom racking, masking and plugging. And we’re able to provide these services to fit the tightest schedule.
YOUR ANODIZING SOURCE
Our anodizing processes provide superior finishes for our manufacturing partners. In addition we can provide extruders and other fabricators with anodizing services for their products.
Anodizing occurs within the aluminum, becoming an integral part of the surface. An anodized surface is durable, it does not peel and it’s resistant to corrosion. Anodizing prevents further oxidization from occurring and therefore extends the life of the product.
