HVOF Coating
High Velocity Oxygen Fuel coating applies dense, hard alloy and tungsten carbide surfaces at extreme particle speeds to improve wear and corrosion resistance on demanding process parts.
Protect critical industrial components with engineered thermal spray coatings designed to extend wear life, reduce downtime, and improve corrosion resistance. Parkway-Kew Corporation combines HVOF, plasma spray, metallizing, and proprietary coating expertise to solve demanding surface-performance challenges for wire mills, oil and gas operations, shipping terminals, and heavy industrial manufacturers across North America.
Advanced thermal spray, HVOF, plasma, metallizing, and rebuild solutions for high-wear industrial components.
High Velocity Oxygen Fuel coating applies dense, hard alloy and tungsten carbide surfaces at extreme particle speeds to improve wear and corrosion resistance on demanding process parts.
Plasma spray ceramic coatings, including PK-1500 chrome oxide, support high-speed and high-slip ferrous wire drawing applications where wear resistance and surface quality matter.
Thermal spray metallizing uses practical alloy systems such as PK-400 to deliver high-quality surface finish, especially for large wire applications and select hardsurfacing needs.
Ceramic, tungsten carbide, and metal alloy coatings are selected to improve part durability against corrosion, abrasion, and repeated industrial wear conditions.
Wire drawing blocks and capstans can be rebuilt with HVOF, plasma, metallizing, sub-arc, or fused coating options for longer service life and reduced changeouts.
Manufactured and rebuilt fracking plungers use nickel chrome or proprietary PK-730 tungsten carbide coatings for harsh oil and gas pumping environments.
From high-speed wire drawing blocks to severe-duty fracking plungers, Parkway-Kew Corporation engineers coating solutions around the way each part actually fails. With HVOF, plasma spray, metallizing, and proprietary alloy systems, the team improves wear life, corrosion resistance, and surface quality while supporting demanding industrial operations with in-house machining and finishing capabilities.

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.
