We speak with George LaCapra Jr., President of UniMetal Surface Finishing, and Patrick Hayden, Senior Vice President, about the company, which has two facilities in Connecticut: one in Thomaston, which serves as headquarters, and another in Naugatuck.
Their key to success is running high-volume barrel, reel-to-reel, and short-run rack plating; they also offer cleaning, deburring, precision cleaning, and vibratory finishes.
LaCapra and Hayden tell the story of two Connecticut finishing operations—Quality Rolling & Deburring and Donham Craft—that decided to unite to augment what each brought to their often overlapped customer bases.
The result was UniMetal Surface Finishing, which boasts itself as one of the largest finishing and plating operations on the East Coast, with two facilities of 160,000 square feet of space and about 130 employees.
“We overlapped about 15% to 20% of our business, so it was a nice compliment to each other and a nice fit,” says LaCapra. “As far as volume, we are definitely one of the highest in the region.”
