HVOF Coating
Advanced HVOF technology applies dense, virtually defect-free coatings using alloy powder expelled at high velocity. It improves wear and corrosion resistance on process parts and wire drawing blocks.
Protect critical machinery with industrial-grade coating solutions engineered for Bay Area manufacturers, ports, wire mills, and heavy equipment operations. Parkway-Kew Corporation applies advanced powder-fed thermal spray, HVOF, plasma, and hardfacing technologies to improve wear resistance, corrosion protection, and service life—helping reduce downtime in demanding environments influenced by coastal moisture and continuous production schedules across the region.
Industrial coating, hardfacing, rebuilding, and machining solutions for high-wear components and demanding production environments.
Advanced HVOF technology applies dense, virtually defect-free coatings using alloy powder expelled at high velocity. It improves wear and corrosion resistance on process parts and wire drawing blocks.
Plasma sprayed ceramic coatings, including wear-resistant chrome oxide options, support high-speed and high-slip wire drawing applications where durable, cost-effective surfaces are essential.
Thermal spray metallizing applies practical hard surfacing alloys for large wire and components requiring an excellent surface finish, reliable performance, and improved wear characteristics.
Ceramic, tungsten carbide, and metal alloy coatings are selected to protect parts against corrosion and wear, with engineering guidance for the most efficient surfacing method.
Wire drawing blocks and capstans are rebuilt with proven hardsurfacing technologies including submerged arc welding, HVOF, plasma, metallizing, and fuse welding for longer operating life.
Precision CNC milling, CNC turning, manual turning, and large diameter grinding complement coating work, helping restore geometry, surface quality, and dependable part performance.
Industrial coating is most valuable when it solves the right wear problem the first time. Parkway-Kew Corporation helps Bay Area production teams choose practical surfaces for abrasion, corrosion, slip, heat checking, and high-speed contact. With HVOF, plasma spray, metallizing, fuse welding, rebuilding, and precision grinding under one roof, your parts can return to service stronger, smoother, and more reliable.

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.
Powder coating costs vary based on part size, surface preparation, coating type, production volume, masking requirements, and finishing tolerances. Industrial coating work such as HVOF, plasma spray, metallizing, or hardfacing is typically quoted after reviewing the component, wear conditions, and desired performance. Parkway-Kew Corporation evaluates the application first so the selected coating method supports durability, efficiency, and cost control.
