Wear-Resistant Coatings
Ceramic, tungsten carbide, and metal alloy coatings are applied to improve durability against corrosion, abrasion, and wear. Engineering recommendations help match the best alloy and process to each industrial challenge.
Parkway-Kew Corporation delivers high-performance industrial coating solutions for facilities and manufacturers that need tough, long-lasting protection under demanding production conditions. From wear-resistant alloys to ceramic and tungsten carbide systems, our engineering-led approach helps reduce downtime, improve corrosion resistance, and extend service life for critical surfaces and components where ordinary coatings cannot keep up.

Advanced coating, hardfacing, rebuilding, and machining solutions for demanding industrial wear and corrosion challenges.
Ceramic, tungsten carbide, and metal alloy coatings are applied to improve durability against corrosion, abrasion, and wear. Engineering recommendations help match the best alloy and process to each industrial challenge.
HVOF technology applies dense, virtually defect-free coatings at extremely high velocity. It is used to improve wear and corrosion resistance on demanding process parts and wire drawing blocks.
Plasma spray ceramic coatings, including chrome oxide options, provide wear resistance for high-speed and high-slip applications where surface performance and process reliability are critical.
Thermal spray metallizing uses practical alloy systems to deliver high-quality surface finish, especially for applications where very large wire or specialized hardsurfacing requirements are involved.
Fuse welding provides a lower-cost alternative to solid ceramics for copper and aluminum wire drawing applications, helping reduce breakage or slippage concerns while maintaining strong wear performance.
The Restore & Grind process repairs only the worn drawline area and blends it with the original coating, helping extend useful life before a complete new coating is required.
For industrial operations, coating performance is measured in fewer changeouts, better corrosion resistance, and longer component life. Parkway-Kew Corporation combines engineering recommendations with proven hard surfacing technologies to match each substrate, wear pattern, and operating environment. The result is a practical, durable coating solution built for heavy-duty production where surface failure can quickly become costly downtime.

Three generations of industrial coating expertise and innovation.

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.
A 1,000-square-foot epoxy floor is commonly estimated by square foot, with price affected by concrete condition, preparation, coating thickness, chemical resistance, and downtime requirements. Basic commercial epoxy may cost far less than high-build or specialty systems. Parkway-Kew Corporation’s technical coatings are quoted by substrate, wear conditions, and process requirements, so an accurate estimate starts with reviewing the application and performance goals.
