Wear Coatings
Engineered ceramic, tungsten carbide, and metal alloy coatings improve resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and production wear on critical commercial machine parts.
Protect critical industrial parts with commercial coating services built for severe wear, corrosion, and production demands. Parkway-Kew Corporation applies proven hardsurfacing, HVOF, plasma spray, thermal spray, and alloy coating solutions to extend component life, reduce downtime, and improve performance for wire mills, oil and gas operations, shipping terminals, and heavy industrial facilities.
Commercial coating, hardsurfacing, rebuilding, and machining solutions for high-wear industrial components.
Engineered ceramic, tungsten carbide, and metal alloy coatings improve resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and production wear on critical commercial machine parts.
Full-service rebuilding and hardsurfacing for wire drawing blocks and capstans using sub-arc welding, HVOF, plasma, metallizing, and fuse welding technologies.
High Velocity Oxygen Fuel coating applies dense, virtually defect-free alloy layers that improve wear and corrosion resistance on demanding process parts.
Plasma sprayed ceramic coatings, including PK-1500 chrome oxide, support cost-effective performance for high-speed and high-slip wire drawing applications.
Thermal spray metallizing uses practical alloy coatings such as PK-400 to achieve high-quality surface finish, especially for very large wire applications.
Fuse welding provides a lower-cost alternative to solid ceramics for copper and aluminum drawing rings while reducing breakage and slippage concerns.
Commercial coating is most valuable when it solves a specific production problem: premature wear, corrosion, poor surface finish, vibration, or frequent part changeout. Parkway-Kew Corporation combines engineering insight, proprietary alloys, multiple surfacing technologies, and in-house machining to match each component with a durable, practical solution that helps industrial operations run longer between maintenance cycles.

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.
