Paulo has been helping hand tool manufacturers deliver quality products for decades with precision thermal processing and metal finishing services.
Our expertise in achieving great results for our hand tools customers means we understand what’s important to you and the success of your business. Here are a few ways that Paulo supports the growth of hand tools manufacturers across North America:
Appearance and Finish | The cleaner the part, the better the finish. We process your parts using an atmosphere in our furnaces, which prevents scale and soot from adhering to the surface. This reduces the need for secondary cleaning, which aids turnaround time, and better prepares your hand tools for coating or plating operations, which enhances your finished parts’ quality. |
Straightness and Integrity of Your Parts | If not handled properly during heat treatment, processing can result in damaged or bent parts—meaning more material in the scrap bin or more time spent on manual straightening. Paulo handles your parts carefully during processing using specialized equipment to preserve the integrity of your parts’ original shape. |
Turnaround Times | When your product is in high demand, a heat-treating partner with quick turnaround times can help you capitalize on every opportunity. While processing times at Paulo vary, we schedule strategically to shorten turnaround as much as possible. We also intentionally leave extra room in our schedule to accommodate rush orders. |
Paulo is a full-service commercial thermal processor with a comprehensive range of capabilities and a vast equipment array. These are a few of the most popular processes we perform for our hand tools customers.
Paulo holds a variety of approvals and certifications, including ISO 9001:2015 certifications at all divisions across our system.
Paulo has the largest in-house metallurgy team of any commercial thermal processor. If you’re having difficulty achieving in-spec results, we can help you find out why…and in most cases, bring those results up to standard.
