Press Release: Leader in Surface-Enhancement Industry Celebrates 40 Years in Arlington

Amid General Magnaplate’s 70th anniversary, the organization marks calling Arlington, Texas, home since 1982.

Arlington, TX (December 21, 2022) - General Magnaplate (Magnaplate) is a world leader in surface-enhancement coatings for metals and other substrates, improving the performance of metals from factory floors to outer space. This year, they celebrate their 40th year at their plant in Arlington, which was established in 1982.

This celebration arrives along with the corporation’s 70th anniversary. To honor the milestones, Magnaplate has rebranded, including a new corporate name, logo, and website. The Magnaplate team recently celebrated its anniversary in downtown Arlington at the Sheraton Arlington Hotel. Still reflecting on their past accomplishments, the team looked forward to what Arlington has in store for them over the next 40 years.

When asked about the impact Arlington has on Magnaplate’s daily operations, Chief Operating Officer Ashley Russo says, "It is with great pride and enthusiasm that our team continues to build upon the legacy started by Doc Covino. Continuous improvement and a commitment to quality have always been paramount to Magnaplate’s success. Our new name, branding, and website allow us to pay homage to the roots we’ve built in Arlington while looking ahead to our future."

Magnaplate had humble beginnings in a small garage in New Jersey. Shortly after Magnaplate’s founding, the research team sought to improve the performance of metals in outer space and created proprietary synergistic coatings that were more functional and longer lasting than traditional coatings. Magnaplate’s Canadize® coating went to the moon in the historic Apollo 11 mission in 1969. Since then, their engineered surface treatments have been integral to numerous industries, helping protect components against the most severe conditions.

The same quality and innovation that the space industry has relied on have made Magnaplate a trusted name in surface protection across a wide range of challenging industries and applications, protecting ferrous and non-ferrous surfaces against friction, wear, corrosion, chemicals, extreme temperatures, and other threats.
