March Manufacturer of the Month: Modern Plating Coatings & Finishes

Elizabethtown and Hardin County are home to many manufacturers that are innovative leaders in their industries as well as vital contributors to our region’s economy. EHCIF’s Manufacturer of the Month is an opportunity to recognize these companies and to increase awareness of the manufacturing activity happening every day right here in the Elizabethtown area.
Modern Plating Coatings & Finishes, employing approximately 80 people at its Elizabethtown facility, has grown a tremendous reach in Kentucky’s manufacturing sector.
Customers rely on Modern Plating Coatings & Finishes for metal surface finishing – from small nuts and bolts, to custom stampings, to brake lines and larger components – to ensure industry corrosion requirements are exceeded.
About 95 percent of the company’s clients are in the automotive industry, and most are located within a 200-mile radius of Elizabethtown. If you own a car, truck or motorcycle assembled in North America, there’s a good chance you’re counting on parts finished at the Hughes Industrial Park plant.

The facility, which underwent an expansion in 2017, houses five processing lines. Three state-of-the-art barrel lines for smaller components and a rack line for larger parts provide zinc platings, and a “dip-spin” line provides paint coatings.
EHCIF is proud Modern Plating Coatings & Finishes is growing in Elizabethtown. With a local presence dating back to 1995, the company is an active and esteemed member of the area’s manufacturing community.
