Get a clearer path to budgeting industrial ceramic coating work with Parkway-Kew Corporation. This guide explains what affects quotes, how coating method and material selection influence pricing, and when alternatives like Restore & Grind or fuse welding may reduce lifecycle cost. Built for manufacturers, wire mills, fracking operations, and heavy industrial teams seeking durable, wear-resistant components.
Explore coating, rebuilding, and repair options that shape accurate industrial ceramic coating quotes.
Ceramic, tungsten carbide, and metal alloy coatings are applied to improve wear resistance, corrosion resistance, durability, and efficiency for demanding industrial parts.
Plasma sprayed ceramic coatings, including chrome oxide options, support high-speed and high-slip ferrous wire drawing applications where wear resistance and surface quality matter.
HVOF technology applies dense, hard coatings using alloy powder propelled at extremely high velocity, helping improve wear and corrosion resistance for process parts.
Fuse welding offers a lower-cost alternative to solid ceramics for wire drawing rings, reducing breakage or slippage concerns while maintaining strong performance.
Wire drawing blocks and capstans are rebuilt and hardsurfaced using sub-arc welding, HVOF, plasma spray, metallizing, and fuse welding options.
Restore & Grind repairs worn drawline areas without removing unnecessary coating, helping reduce cost across multiple repair cycles before full recoating.
The right ceramic coating quote starts with understanding how your part fails. Parkway-Kew Corporation evaluates wear pattern, corrosion exposure, material compatibility, coating method, and finishing needs to recommend a practical solution. Whether you need plasma sprayed ceramics, HVOF tungsten carbide, or a lower-cost repair path, the goal is longer part life and reduced downtime.

Founder
Eugene Walter Klein is the visionary founder of Parkway-Kew Corporation, establishing the company in 1952 after identifying an innovative solution to a pressing industrial challenge. As a welding supply salesman, Eugene was approached by a valued customer seeking help repairing worn machine parts and improving their wear resistance. Drawing on his expertise, he recommended a specialized hardfacing wear-resistant weld alloy, proved the concept by welding the first test piece in his own garage, and secured the company's landmark first order to rebuild 100 wire drawing blocks. His entrepreneurial spirit and deep technical knowledge laid the foundation for what would become the world leader in hardsurfaced wire drawing blocks and capstans, a legacy that has endured for over 70 years.
President
Eugene Edward Klein Sr. serves as President of Parkway-Kew Corporation, carrying forward the legacy established by his father, the company's founder. Under his leadership, Parkway-Kew has experienced remarkable growth, outgrowing four separate facilities before relocating to its current headquarters in North Brunswick, NJ in 1999. Eugene has been instrumental in driving the company's continuous technological innovation, from the introduction of HVOF coating for wire drawing blocks in 1989 to the development of the proprietary Restore & Grind process. A recognized industry authority, he has traveled throughout the country delivering presentations on wire drawing block maintenance, cementing the company's reputation as the world leader in precision metal coating and hardsurfacing solutions.
Latin America Sales and Marketing Director
MBA Ing. Antonio Ayala R. serves as Latin America Sales and Marketing Director for Parkway-Kew Corporation, bringing an exceptional combination of business acumen and industry expertise to the role. As CEO of AA Enterprise, he leads Parkway-Kew's regional outreach across Latin American markets, connecting industrial clients with the company's world-class precision metal coating and wear-resistant solutions. A distinguished figure in the wire industry, Antonio previously served as President of Wire Association International (WAI, Inc.), demonstrating his deep engagement with the global wire and cable sector. His bilingual capabilities, executive leadership experience, and extensive professional network make him an invaluable asset in expanding Parkway-Kew's reach and partnerships throughout Latin America.
Parkway-Kew Corporation focuses on industrial ceramic, tungsten carbide, and metal alloy coatings, not consumer automotive detailing packages. For industrial parts, pricing is quoted based on component size, coating material, surfacing method, wear conditions, finishing requirements, and whether rebuilding or Restore & Grind is possible. If you are seeking a car coating, a local automotive detailer is the right provider.
