Plating solutions through R&D innovation and experience.

Designing innovative plating solutions through disciplined, advanced R&D has long been a Summit strong-point. With over 60 years of experience in advanced Electro-Chemistry, Electronics and Mechanical Engineering, our R&D leadership group is renown for developing proprietary, fiscally effective plating and finishing methods. They “get the job done,” while often saving money through diagnosis and correction of problems that could affect bottom line.

Partnership collaboration. Win/win outcomes.

Hire us, and we’ll become your R&D Partner, working independently on your behalf, or in conjunction with your R&D group as needed to develop processes that will meet your current and future project requirements. Our fully staffed Chemical and Metallurgical Labs are equipped with the most modern research and development equipment available today, including a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS). We also conduct prototype testing, and pilot trials to ensure desired results are consistently achieved prior to production.
