About METALAST International, Inc.

Business Type: Manufacturer, Service

METALAST International, Inc. is a business-to-business solutions provider to the metal finishing industry. It offers a wide variety of chemical, equipment, software, process, and engineering services to both metal finishers and manufacturers. METALAST, located in Minden, Nevada (40 miles south of Reno), has the only Technical Center in the world dedicated to product development for and support to the finishing industry. METALAST offers many new cutting edge technologies outlined below to improve quality and consistency in any finishing application.

The Company has provided R&D services and metal finishing related technical support to many of the Fortune 500. A few of METALAST’s clients include: the United States Navy, United States Marine Corp., United States Army, Goodrich Aerospace, Raytheon, Visteon Automotive, Ford Motors, Daimler Chrsyler, Johnson & Johnson, Motorola, Pitney Bowes, Applied Materials, Parker Hannifin, and Medtronics.

The Company was the first chemical company selected by the United States Department of Defense, United States Navy to commercialize and bring to market a replacement for the carcinogen Hexavalent Chromate called TCP, or now the branded METALAST version, METALAST TCP-HF. Now available exclusively through METALAST and its partner Chemetall Oakite, METALAST TCP-HF is the RoHS compliant chemical conversion coating of choice.

METALAST International, LLCProcess Control Solutions:
METALAST has designed the METALAST JobPro computer for control repeatability and verification of any electrolytic applied process. The JobPro is an affordable, off-the-shelf computerized controller that interfaces with a power supply to facilitate greater consistency, process repeatability and verification, and product quality. The JobPro can easily be programmed to run multiple strategies from a menu to insure consistency from run to run. The Department of Navy wrote and published an unsolicited article for Currents Magazine Winter 2004 issue praising the benefits of the METALAST JobPro since installation in 2003. METALAST also offers the JobProTECH to qualified companies who choose to enter into a License Agreement with the Company.

METALAST recently introduced a total line control hardware and software package called the ANOTRACKPro system. ANOTRACKPro is a fully programmable solution for process tracking, alarming, and reporting of products through a manual finishing process. The system uses wireless data transfer of all line inputs through an operator-held PDA for each load. Actual run data for each load is tracked and reported to a base station computer and database.

Chemistry Solutions:
METALAST’s most recent product offering, METALAST TCP-HF is an environmentally safe and superior drop-in replacement to Hexavalent Chromates. Hexavalent Chromates have been banned in the automotive world as a carcinogen with all other industries quickly following suit. METALAST TCP-HF was developed and patented by the US Navy after failing to qualify existing coating replacements due to high cost and inferior performance. METALAST has been awarded the rights to market and support TCP under a licensing agreement.
Now available exclusively through METALAST and its partner Chemetall Oakite, METALAST TCP-HF is the RoHS compliant chemical conversion coating of choice.

METALAST also supplies a full line of aluminum and anodizing chemistries, including all pre and post treatment chemicals, a wide range of organic dyes, and the proprietary AA-200 Additive (available only to Licensees). METALAST Chemistry has been fully tested by METALAST to ensure the highest quality standards and is backed by industry leading Technical Support.

Turnkey/Equipment Solutions:
METALAST has formally partnered with CH2M HILL Company, one of the largest and most respected engineering firms in the world providing turnkey engineering, architectural and manufacturing support worldwide. Through this partnership METALAST can offer complete ground-up permitting, design, facility build, equipment, and process services.
As a result of directing and managing, full responsibility is taken by one company project delivery is shortened, quality is assured, and project costs are reduced.

Software/Specialty Solutions:
METALAST offers ChemPro software for complete chemical and laboratory inventory and management. The software is designed for ease of compliance with ISO, QS and NADCAP requirements. ChemPro is designed to control and automate all chemistries and wet processes. ChemPro ensures consistent, repeatable application of best practices and digitizes all activities, computations and data logging to insure procedures are recorded and consistently executed.

METALAST also offers ProcessPro facility efficiency and costing software. Through the development of baseline information, process costing can be established and controlled. The product can then be used to evaluate possible changes and the impact to bottom line and cost. ProcessPro is an ideal tool for cost analysis pricing and predetermining R.O.I. The Department of Navy, ALCOA, the Air Force, among others, have been using the METALAST software products for process improvement.

In addition, METALAST offers Sales and Marketing Support, Analytical Services, Facility Audits, Consulting, and Training and Education Solutions to meet the needs of industry.
