In-House Finishing Options for Precision Metal Fabrication Customers
Many sheet metal fabricated parts aren’t complete until they’re finished.
Thanks to Sweeney Metal Fabricator’s recent acquisition by GTR Manufacturing, customers now have access to an all-new range of in-house finishing capabilities. Keep reading to learn about the options available and the advantages of working with our New Hampshire metal fabrication shop.
Painting
Our shop offers high-quality painting in a variety of custom colors and finishes. In-house color matching is even available for smaller runs.
We pretreat and prep plastics, fiberglass, castings, machined parts, and sheet metal, including aluminum, steel, stainless steel, plated steel, and galvanneal, to create a beautiful finish for your final product. You’ll enjoy industrial and military-grade painted finishes thanks to our high-solid and exterior urethane paints.
Powder Coating
This corrosion-resistant, chip-resistant coating forms a thick, uniform, durable finish with a single application. Any texture you require is infused into the powder formula to ensure a consistent finish with no running or sagging.
Unlike liquid paint, powder coating’s electrostatic application makes it a fast, durable solution that’s more environmentally friendly than epoxy-based paints.
For complex parts that are challenging to paint, powder coating offers a versatile solution with a fast turnaround time and a reduced carbon footprint.
Silk Screening
We specialize in epoxy-based inks to apply high-quality custom graphics to enclosures, panels, covers, and chassis. Because these color dies are highly versatile and durable, they’re our top pick for decals and labeling on a myriad of part materials.
With our cutting-edge screen preparation technology, you’re guaranteed exceptional metal finishing that meets all your specifications.
Our New Hampshire metal fabrication shop accepts most design formats for screen printing, including:
Adobe Illustrator
Adobe Photoshop
PDF files
EPS files
AutoCAD (DXF and DWG)
SolidWorks
Superior Finishing Solutions for Your Sheet Metal Fab Project
There are several advantages to having our team finish your parts.
Quality control
In-house finishing means we own our supply chain and oversee every step of your part’s production, from the initial quote to the delivery day. We review every blueprint, then double-check and check again to ensure optimum quality that meets your exacting specifications. And before we call a job “done,” we perform functionality testing right here in our New Hampshire metal fabrication shop.
Shorter lead times
Because we perform your parts’ painting, powder coating, and silk screening services in-house, you’ll never have to worry about third-party delays. By avoiding external vendors, we also protect you from the additional shipping costs associated with moving parts between facilities for third-party services.
With Sweeney’s end-to-end capabilities, you’ll enjoy expedited project timelines without the risks posed by external supply chains. And with our team personally performing every aspect of your part’s manufacturing, you can count on incredible quality every time.
Finally, our sheet metal fab shop applies Just-in-Time (JIT) manufacturing and Kanban principles to maintain highly efficient development processes, including:
Establishing minimum and maximum quantities
Fulfilling customer needs on a pull system
Managing inventory for customers and suppliers
Maintaining your pipeline via our interactive online portal
