HVOF Coating
HVOF applies alloy powder at extremely high velocity to create dense, hard coatings that improve wear and corrosion resistance on wire drawing blocks and other process parts.
Protect critical metal components with advanced coating and finishing services engineered for demanding industrial environments. Parkway-Kew Corporation applies wear-resistant alloys, ceramics, tungsten carbide, chrome oxide, aluminum, stainless, and zinc using proven HVOF, plasma spray, metallizing, fuse welding, and hardsurfacing methods. Get durable finishes that reduce downtime, improve corrosion resistance, and extend part life.
Advanced coating, hardsurfacing, and finishing options for high-wear industrial metal components.
HVOF applies alloy powder at extremely high velocity to create dense, hard coatings that improve wear and corrosion resistance on wire drawing blocks and other process parts.
Plasma sprayed ceramic coatings, including chrome oxide options, support high-speed and high-slip wire drawing applications where exceptional wear resistance and surface performance are essential.
Thermal spray metallizing applies practical protective alloys such as PK-400, producing high-quality surface finishes for wire drawing and large wire hardsurfacing applications.
Ceramic, tungsten carbide, and metal alloy coatings are engineered to protect parts from corrosion, abrasion, and wear while helping reduce production downtime.
Fuse welding provides a cost-effective alternative to solid ceramics for copper and aluminum wire drawing rings, reducing breakage and slippage concerns.
Submerged arc welding is a proven, cost-effective hardsurfacing method for wire drawing blocks, including crack-pattern and virtually crack-free alloy options.
The team reviews your component, operating environment, wear pattern, corrosion concerns, and production goals. This technical evaluation helps match the surface finish to real-world service conditions rather than applying a one-size-fits-all coating.
Choose a coating partner with proven technology, deep experience, and practical industrial problem-solving.

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.
