Happy Thanksgiving!
The families of Reliable Plating Works, Inc and Elite Finishing LLC wish you and yours the Happiest of Thanksgivings!
We hope you have time to enjoy your families over this long holiday weekend. The Families of RPW and Elite will be taking the 24th through the 27th to spend time with family and give thanks for all the good that they have received over the past year. We also will be taking off December 26th and 27th to celebrate the birth of our Lord and January 2nd to recover from the celebration of our New Year. RPW and Elite will both be doing a shutdown of the plating lines on December 28th, 29th and 30th to do full preventative maintenance and updates. Please note these days that we will be down so that we can appropriately plan production and not cause any issues with deliveries to your customers. We wish you all HAPPY THANKSGIVING, MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
2017 Reliable Plating Works, Inc & Elite Finishing LLC Events
January – RPW/Elite 3rd Annual ZOMBIE SHOOT!!
We take a limited number of customers to the gun range to have a little fun. We supply guns, ammo and assistance. We start at 9:30 am with safety instruction, shoot from 10-noon and then break for lunch (optional). This is a first come first serve event as there is a limited amount of room on the range so the first 15 signups are taken. Actual date will be set next month. Check with your contact for date and or look for our next E-Blast.
February – 12th Annual PLATING EDUCATION MONTH
Every Friday in February we will hold our annual plating classes. These classes are open to all of our customers and are free!! This class is set up to give you a good knowledge of our processes, an understanding of the cost drivers, consequences of design and material changes, functional and cosmetic capabilities and availability of new processes. We start the class at 11am with a lunch and quick video that shows the entire plating process with a tank by tank description of what each tank is doing. We then do a plant tour (of our Elite Finishing LLC facility) where we will be showing off our newly designed lab, followed by discussion on Design, Cost Drivers, Materials, Processes, and finally a show and tell session on issues that we have run into and the solutions. We welcome questions and queries on potential projects that may need early input. The day is done no later than 3:30 pm so that traffic is not an issue. Please contact your RPW/Elite Contact to register for one of these dates as they fill up quick.
