Fracking Plungers
Manufacturing and rebuilding coated fracking pump plungers using PK-62 nickel chrome or PK-730 tungsten carbide coatings for demanding oilfield conditions, improved concentricity, and longer wear life.
Keep critical oilfield components running longer with precision machining, large-diameter grinding, and wear-resistant rebuilding from Parkway-Kew Corporation. Backed by decades of hard surfacing innovation, in-house CNC capabilities, and proven fracking plunger expertise, our solutions help reduce downtime, improve concentricity, and extend part life in demanding oil and gas operations.
Precision machining, grinding, coating, and rebuilding solutions for high-wear oilfield and industrial components.
Manufacturing and rebuilding coated fracking pump plungers using PK-62 nickel chrome or PK-730 tungsten carbide coatings for demanding oilfield conditions, improved concentricity, and longer wear life.
Large diameter grinding supports parts up to 65 inches in diameter and 12 feet long, helping finish coated or rebuilt industrial components with accurate, durable working surfaces.
CNC milling capabilities help fabricate precision wear parts with or without coatings, including components requiring accurate profiles, repeatability, and compatibility with hard surfacing solutions.
CNC turning supports round industrial wear components requiring controlled geometry, reliable repeatability, and machining capacity for parts up to 72 inches in diameter.
Manual turning provides flexible machining support for specialty, repair, and oversized components where skilled operator control complements coating, rebuilding, and precision finishing needs.
Ceramic, tungsten carbide, and metal alloy coatings are applied with HVOF, plasma spray, and metallizing equipment to improve corrosion resistance and wear performance.
Our team reviews the oilfield component, wear pattern, clamping surfaces, dimensions, and operating conditions. This helps determine whether machining, grinding, coating, rebuilding, or new fabrication will deliver the most durable and cost-effective result.

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.
Precision machining removes material from metal components using controlled equipment such as CNC lathes, mills, manual turning machines, and grinders. The goal is to produce accurate dimensions, concentric surfaces, smooth finishes, and reliable fit. For oilfield parts like fracking plungers, precision machining helps reduce vibration, improve sealing performance, and support longer service life under harsh operating conditions.
