We talk with Francisco Capacho, President and General Manager of Dixon Hard Chrome in Sun Valley, California, about his path to success in the United States electroplating industry.
Capacho began his career working at his father’s plating operation near Bogota, Columbia, where he was on the shop floor at age 5 following his father around the complex.
In 2023, he moved to south to Southern California to run Dixon Hard Chrome, which has over 10,000 square feet in the building complex and an additional 23,000 square feet of storage space for parts and orders.
Dixon Hard Chrome—founded by Richard Dixon in 1955—is a Nadcap facility that focuses on aerospace finishing and offers more than just the hard chrome in its name; the shop also specializes in copper plating and electroless nickel, plating on aluminum, cadmium plating, passivation, etching, and magnetic and penetrant inspection.
