It Is Easier Being Greener

With RoHS/WEEE/ELV mandates in force and OSHA tightening allowable exposure limits to hexavalent chromium, Jamestown Electro Plating Works, Inc. (JEP), in Jamestown , N.Y. , decided it was time to convert from hexavalent to trivalent chromium plating.

JEP is a seasoned family business, in operation since 1921, with a forward-looking consciousness. Initially a nickel plating company, JEP added chrome and copper plating cycles in the late 1920s, and zinc, cadmium, tin, silver, aluminum anodizing, lead, and indium plating departments under new ownership after 1953. That owner, Lawrence Davis, also invested in sophisticated waste treatment systems as early as 1966. Current owner John R. (Jay) Churchill has continued the proactive approach to business operations and the environment since purchasing JEP in 1984.

With a dedicated team and a worldly perspective, JEP is ISO 9001:2000, ISO 14001, Nadcap accredited, and now RoHS compliant. The firm specializes in decorative plating for a number of industries, including automotive, aerospace, furniture and decor, fasteners, building and construction products, and computer and electronics components.
