About Us

Cooper Plating specializes in functional plating and provides plating solutions for customers in the automotive, military, aerospace, electronic and commercial industries.

Each type of metal plating is used to achieve specific objectives, which can range from building up worn parts to increasing bondability, solderability, corrosion resistance, tensile strength, surface hardness, high electrical and thermal conductivity, stable and low contact resistance, good bonding, increased ductility, and improved wear resistance of load-bearing surfaces.

Depending on our customer’s specifications, we can recommend the most effective and efficient electroplating technique to ensure complete customer satisfaction and high-quality products.

Our team draws on our profound knowledge of the industry and innovative R&D to ensure we are always seeking to deliver the best and most suitable electroplating solution for our customers.
