HVOF Coating
Dense HVOF-applied nickel chrome boron alloy coatings, including PK-920 systems, help improve wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and surface performance on demanding process components.
Protect critical industrial components with Nickel Boron Coating Services engineered for longer wear life, improved corrosion resistance, and smoother operation. Parkway-Kew Corporation applies proven hard surfacing expertise, HVOF technology, and precision finishing capabilities to help wire mills, oil and gas operators, shipping terminals, and heavy equipment teams reduce downtime and extend part performance.
Advanced coating, hard surfacing, rebuilding, and finishing options for longer-lasting industrial components.
Dense HVOF-applied nickel chrome boron alloy coatings, including PK-920 systems, help improve wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and surface performance on demanding process components.
Ceramic, tungsten carbide, and metal alloy coatings are matched to application demands to make parts more durable against corrosion, abrasion, and repeated wear-and-tear.
Wire drawing blocks, capstans, tuner rolls, sheaves, step cones, and guide devices can be coated or rebuilt to reduce changeout frequency and improve operating life.
Thermal spray and metallizing options apply practical alloy surfaces for industrial components, including applications where surface finish and large-part capability are major priorities.
Sub-arc and fuse welding options support hard surfacing for wire drawing and heavy wear applications, including lower-cost alternatives to solid ceramics in select environments.
In-house CNC turning, CNC milling, manual turning, and large diameter grinding complement coating work, helping finished parts meet dimensional and surface requirements.
Parkway-Kew reviews the component, substrate, wear pattern, operating environment, and required surface finish. The team determines whether a nickel chrome boron alloy, tungsten carbide matrix coating, ceramic, or alternate hard surfacing method best fits the application.
Industrial coating projects require experience, materials knowledge, and finishing precision.

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.
Nickel boron coating is used to improve wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and surface performance on industrial components exposed to friction, abrasive contact, or demanding process conditions. Parkway-Kew Corporation applies nickel chrome boron alloy systems such as PK-920 through proven hard surfacing methods, helping parts run longer and reducing costly changeouts in production environments.
