Over the last 50 years we have gathered a list of outside vendors (OV’s) that we have partnered with to provide excellent processing to customer parts. These vendors have been vetted via our ISO 9001:2015 QMS for quality and accreditation.

All of our partnered vendors are approved and certified NADCAP, RoHS, ITAR, ISO, AS9100, etc. These vendors provide a wide variety of services including but not limited to the following:
- Plating: The process of plating electrochemically bonds a thin layer of a secondary metal (i.e. gold, nickel, or chrome) to clients’ parts. This is done for aesthetics as well as functionality. In many cases the plating material will enhance a certain property of the part like conductivity or corrosion resistance.
- Passivating: Passivation is a common chemical treatment technique for stainless steel and other alloys that enhances the corrosion resistance of the affected surfaces. It also does a great job at removing the surface contaminants on the parts.
- Heat treating: Heat treating is the process of heating and cooling metal in a certain way to change its physical properties. Two of the most common heat treating processes are annealing and hardening. Annealing makes the part more flexible and removes some of the stress while hardening stiffens the part and makes it more wear resistant.
- Other OV Processes: The list of OV partners we have at Verdugo Tool & Engineering is long and extensive. Other processes that we can offer to clients via our partnerships that might be useful are acid etching, powder coating, anodizing, double disc grinding, etc.
