Building On a Great Foundation
Alpha Metal Finishing is a family-owned company. My father, Bob Wood, started the business in 1976 with simple values in mind: faith, integrity, and doing things better for the customer. People, process, and technology have always been a part of our strategy and we are fortunate to continue building on a great foundation.
Our team is dedicated to superior quality, rapid turnaround, and friendly, responsive customer service. Anodizing presents many challenges and the manufacturing industry has critical expectations, rightly so. Alpha’s goal is to finish things right from the beginning and offer a better experience to our manufacturing customers.
