Grind large industrial parts up to 65 inches in diameter and 12 feet long, supporting rebuilt and coated components that demand accurate surfaces, durable finishes, and dependable fit.
Repair worn wire drawing blocks by filling only the drawline area and blending it with the original coating, helping preserve diameter and reduce full recoating frequency.
Finish coated fracking plungers and wear components with attention to concentricity, surface quality, and operating alignment, reducing vibration risks associated with improper centerless grinding setups.
Your component’s wear pattern, coating history, drawings, and operating role are reviewed before grinding begins. For Twin Cities plants managing uptime around harsh seasonal logistics, this helps plan repairs efficiently and avoid unnecessary material removal.

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.

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.
