Shop Profile: Stephen Walters, Progressive Coating

Stephen Walters is CEO of Progressive Coating, a Chicago-area job shop that has evolved from a thermoplastic coating specialist into a multi-process supplier supporting automotive, electrical infrastructure, and electric vehicle markets across North America. That performance-first mindset has guided Progressive Coatings through more than four decades of operation—and through one of the most ambitious expansion efforts in the company’s history. Founded in the early 1980s, Progressive Coatings established its reputation with fluidized-bed thermoplastic coatings, particularly nylon, PVC, and plastisol systems, used on wire forms, springs, and industrial components. Walters purchased the company in 2006 and immediately began reinvesting in infrastructure, quality systems, and technology. “Once I took over, we rebuilt pretty much everything here,” he says.  Visit https://progressivecoating.com [https://progressivecoating.com/].

Shop Profile: Dallas Cooley, Georgia Powder Coating

Dallas Cooley is Chief Servant and CEO at Georgia Powder Coating in Gainesville, Georgia, a company approaching its 27th year in business and prepares for a facility expansion that will more than double its footprint. For Georgia Powder Coating, the decision to prioritize customer experience was not based on industry precedent. In fact, there was little to draw from within manufacturing itself. Instead, the company looked outside its own industry for inspiration. “You can think of hotel chains like the Ritz Carlton, or even fast food now with Chick-fil-A,” Cooley says. “They just operate differently with the customer as the focus.” Visit https://www.georgiapowdercoating.com [https://www.georgiapowdercoating.com/].

Shop Talk: Stephen Sharretts, Sharretts Plating

Stephen Sharretts is the CEO and third-generation leader of Sharretts Plating in York, Pennsylvania, an electroplating operation that has lasted 100 years and weathered the industry’s many storms. Founded in 1925 as Charles D. Snyder and Son, Inc., the company has evolved from a small polishing and repair shop in Harrisburg into a cutting-edge surface finishing operation serving global industries. Sharretts Plating specializes in alloys and finishes that most finishing operations prefer to ignore for obvious reasons: the difficulty of mastering the processes, and the costs often associated with precious metals. It provides standard copper, tin, nickel, and electroless nickel finishes, and also works extensively with gold, silver, platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, and numerous other precious metals.
