Wear-Resistant Coatings
Ceramic, tungsten carbide, chrome oxide, metal alloy, aluminum, stainless, and zinc coatings help protect industrial parts from corrosion, abrasion, and demanding production wear.
Parkway-Kew Corporation delivers extreme precision industrial contracting through advanced coatings, hardsurfacing, machining, and component rebuilding for demanding production environments. Since 1952, industrial teams have trusted its engineered wear-resistant solutions to extend part life, improve corrosion resistance, reduce changeouts, and keep critical equipment operating with greater reliability across wire mills, fracking operations, shipping terminals, and heavy industry.
Advanced coating, hardsurfacing, machining, and rebuilding services for demanding industrial wear applications.
Ceramic, tungsten carbide, chrome oxide, metal alloy, aluminum, stainless, and zinc coatings help protect industrial parts from corrosion, abrasion, and demanding production wear.
Full-service rebuilding and hardsurfacing for wire drawing blocks, capstans, tuner rolls, sheaves, step cones, and guide devices using proven PK coating systems.
High Velocity Oxygen Fuel coating applies dense, hard, virtually defect-free surfaces that improve wear and corrosion resistance on process parts and drawing blocks.
Plasma sprayed ceramic coatings, including PK-1500 chrome oxide, support high-speed and high-slip ferrous wire drawing applications requiring exceptional wear performance.
CNC milling, CNC turning, manual turning, and large-diameter grinding complement coating services and support fabrication of coated or solid tungsten carbide wear parts.
Crane wheels, wire rope pulleys, urethane coated festoon wheels, and other heavy-use components can be rebuilt to improve lifespan and reduce replacements.
Industrial parts rarely fail for one simple reason. Parkway-Kew Corporation brings coating science, hardsurfacing history, and in-house machining together to solve wear, corrosion, surface finish, and dimensional challenges. From wire drawing blocks to fracking plungers and crane components, each solution is selected to improve durability, extend service intervals, and reduce costly production interruptions.

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
