National Plating Corporation, or NPC, as it is commonly referred to, was established in 1946 and is in the business of electro zinc plating. NPC, located in Cleveland, is currently operated by Mark Palik, the SBCs third generational owner. The company prides itself in the high quality outcomes of its plating process and this has been reflected in the 66% revenue growth the company has achieved since 2010.
The impact of the growth forced the owner to upgrade his shop equipment in 2013. GAF provided NPC with a $382,000 loan to be used for a new waste water treatment system, upgrades to the existing plating line controls, a new small barrel plating line, and upgrades to accounting and job costing systems.
