Advanced industrial restoration, coating, rebuilding, and machining services for high-wear components.
Ceramic, tungsten carbide, and metal alloy coatings are applied to improve corrosion resistance, wear resistance, durability, and efficiency for demanding industrial parts.
Full-service rebuilding and hardsurfacing for wire drawing blocks, capstans, tuner rolls, sheaves, step cones, and guide devices using multiple proven technologies.
A proprietary repair method that fills only the worn drawline area and blends it into the original coating, reducing coating loss and repair cost.
High Velocity Oxygen Fuel coating builds dense, hard, virtually defect-free surfaces that improve wear and corrosion resistance for process-critical industrial components.
Plasma sprayed ceramic coatings, including PK-1500 chrome oxide, support high-speed and high-slip wire drawing applications requiring excellent wear resistance.
Submerged arc welding delivers cost-effective hardsurfacing for wire drawing blocks, including PK-503 and crack-free PK-200 options for specific surface needs.
The process begins with your part specifications, wear history, operating conditions, and performance goals. Parkway-Kew Corporation reviews the component’s failure mode, dimensional needs, and industry application before recommending whether restoration, rebuilding, or a new coated component is most practical.

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.

Surface restoration is the process of repairing, rebuilding, or improving worn component surfaces so they perform reliably again. In industrial applications, it can include hardfacing, HVOF coating, plasma spray, metallizing, grinding, machining, or targeted repair of wear zones. Parkway-Kew Corporation uses these methods to improve wear resistance, corrosion resistance, surface finish, and service life.
