Thermal Spray
Metallizing uses PK-400 alloy to restore worn surfaces and achieve a high-quality finish, making it especially practical for very large wire applications and demanding industrial repair work.
Restore worn industrial components with Thermal Spray Repair Services engineered for durability, surface quality, and reduced downtime. Parkway-Kew Corporation applies proven metallizing, HVOF, plasma spray, and wear-resistant coating technologies to rebuild high-wear parts for wire mills, oil and gas operations, shipping terminals, and heavy industrial equipment users across North America.
Precision coating, rebuilding, and finishing solutions for worn industrial components and high-wear production parts.
Metallizing uses PK-400 alloy to restore worn surfaces and achieve a high-quality finish, making it especially practical for very large wire applications and demanding industrial repair work.
HVOF coating accelerates alloy powder at extreme velocity to form hard, dense, wear-resistant surfaces for process parts exposed to abrasion, corrosion, and heavy industrial service.
Plasma sprayed ceramic coatings, including PK-1500 chrome oxide, provide excellent wear resistance for high-speed and high-slip ferrous wire drawing applications requiring durable surfaces.
Ceramic, tungsten carbide, and metal alloy coatings are engineered to improve durability, corrosion resistance, and wear life for components used in harsh production environments.
The proprietary Restore & Grind process fills only the worn drawline area, blends with the original coating, and can reduce repair costs before full recoating becomes necessary.
Large diameter grinding supports coated component repair with capabilities up to 65 inches in diameter and 12 feet long for accurate finishing after rebuilding.
The team reviews the worn component, operating conditions, substrate, and failure pattern to determine whether thermal spray repair, metallizing, HVOF, plasma spray, or a related hard surfacing method is the most practical solution.

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.
Yes, cold spray can be used for certain repair applications, especially where minimizing heat input is important. The best process depends on the base material, wear pattern, dimensional requirements, and service environment. Parkway-Kew Corporation evaluates each component and may recommend proven alternatives such as HVOF, plasma spray, metallizing, or other coating methods when they better match the repair goal.
