Our Metal Plating Company History
AlumiPlate was founded in 1995 by David Dayton, who purchased all worldwide rights and patents to the Sigal process, developed by Siemens and the Max Planck Institute over a period of 30 years. While interesting and useful, this original technology was not yet ready for widespread use. With a practical and single minded focus, AlumiPlate has developed and refined the process significantly to bring AlumiPlate aluminum to its present capability, able to serve a great many applications with reliable, repeatable and robust coating services.
