HVOF Coating
Dense, hard HVOF coatings improve wear and corrosion resistance on demanding process parts using alloy powders such as PK-920, PK-675, PK-700, and PK-750.
For Las Vegas manufacturers, wire mills, energy operations, and heavy-equipment teams, Parkway-Kew Corporation delivers industrial metal coating solutions built to withstand abrasive wear, corrosion, desert dust, and demanding production cycles. Since 1952, our engineered HVOF, plasma spray, thermal spray, fuse welding, and machining capabilities help critical components last longer and reduce costly downtime.
Advanced industrial coating, hard surfacing, rebuilding, and machining solutions for high-wear metal components.
Dense, hard HVOF coatings improve wear and corrosion resistance on demanding process parts using alloy powders such as PK-920, PK-675, PK-700, and PK-750.
Plasma sprayed ceramic coatings, including PK-1500 chrome oxide, support high-speed and high-slip ferrous wire drawing applications where wear resistance is critical.
Thermal spray metallizing uses practical alloy systems such as PK-400 to deliver high-quality surface finishes for wire drawing and large-wire applications.
Sub-arc welding provides cost-effective hardsurfacing for wire drawing blocks, including PK-503 and virtually crack-free PK-200 deposits for specific steel applications.
Fuse welding with PK-920, PK-700, and PK-675 offers a lower-cost alternative to solid ceramics for copper and aluminum wire drawing rings.
Wire drawing blocks and capstans are rebuilt using advanced hard surfacing methods to extend service life and minimize production changeouts.
Our team reviews the component, drawings, wear pattern, operating environment, and production goals. For Las Vegas-area operations, we also consider abrasive dust, heat exposure, and downtime costs when evaluating the right coating strategy.

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.
