Engineered coating, machining, and rebuilding support for high-wear oil and gas production components.
Manufacturing and rebuilding coated pump plungers for fracking applications, with PK-62 nickel chrome alloy and proprietary PK-730 fused tungsten carbide for the harshest wear conditions.
Application of ceramic, tungsten carbide, and metal alloy coatings to improve corrosion resistance, reduce wear, and extend the service life of critical industrial components.
HVOF coating technology builds hard, dense, virtually defect-free surfaces using alloy powders, supporting improved durability on process parts exposed to corrosion and abrasion.
CNC turning capabilities support coated and uncoated wear parts, including large components up to 72 inches in diameter for demanding industrial applications.
CNC milling complements coating work by fabricating precision wear parts, including components designed with solid tungsten carbide where coatings are not required.
Large diameter grinding up to 65 inches in diameter and 12 feet in length supports final finishing of coated and rebuilt industrial components.
The team reviews drawings, dimensions, wear patterns, operating conditions, and performance goals. This early engineering review helps identify whether rebuilding, coating, grinding, or new component fabrication will deliver the best value.

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.
The torque turn method measures both rotational torque and the amount a connection turns during makeup. In oil and gas operations, this helps verify that threaded connections are tightened within a controlled range rather than relying on torque alone. The goal is consistent connection integrity, reduced thread damage, and better performance under pressure, vibration, and repeated operating stress.
