C&R Plating Corporation

KC Jones Plating Company purchased the C&R Plating Corporation in 2002. Located in Columbia City, Indiana and originally incorporated in 1968, the company began production with zinc and yellow chromate and expanded to include electroless nickel in 1974.  By the late 1970s, C&R had earned a reputation for repeatable jewel-like quality. Based on a philosophy of exacting quality, turnaround and personalized service, C&R grew to become a full-line specialty plating house serving the automotive off-road, aviation, electronic, medical and general manufacturing industries.

Today, over 60 employees combine their knowledge and skills with state of the art technology to ensure that C&R Plating Corporation is your best choice in electroless nickel plating, zinc, zinc-alloy or any of their other special finishing processes.

Housed in a modern 35,000 square-foot facility, C&R Plating is qualified to meet the needs of all major automotive companies. They have also consistently maintained the necessary processes for meeting EPA requirements. C&R Plating Corporation’s modern laboratory has all the equipment needed to meet our customer requirements.
