Education

Back in St Louis there is a men's clothing store that has as its slogan

"An educated consumer is our best customer"

The same applies in our business.  

We've always said that metal finishing is part science, part math, part art and a little bit black magic"... It requires an educated operator, properly trained.  No one is teaching this in school.  Plus,  there are so many variables to control it gets crazy rather quickly if you get lost. Look at the chart on plating variables linked here... 

​

ECI, through our network of suppliers can tailor educational training for your personnel.  Some can be on-site.  Others; offsite.  Just give us a call if you are interested in a specific topic and we will do what we can to assist.
