Hixson Metal Finishing is a premier metal finishing company whose vision is rooted in excellence, integrity, and accountability.  From our original location in Newport Beach, California, we have worked diligently since 1960 to demonstrate just how far these values extend by providing a broad range of services to the military, aerospace, and commercial aircraft communities with competitive prices, timely delivery, and outstanding quality.

We offer more than 80 finishing processes that run the gamut from simple “rack-and-run” jobs to very complex multi-process jobs, including anodizing, precious metals, cadmium and nickel plating, non-destructive testing, painting, and many more.  A great source of pride for us is our persistent pursuit of improving our current processes and our willingness to develop new and innovative methods and technologies to meet the needs and expectations of our customers. 

In an effort to better serve you, we have established ourselves as a dynamic enterprise with a quality system that is fully computerized and in compliance with the strict standards of all customer and governmental specifications, including the National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program (NADCAP) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).   Additionally, we strive for efficient and effective communication which is most notably exemplified in our online order tracking system which allows our customers to check the real time current status of their jobs on-line via our website, 24/7. 

With hundreds of years of collective metal finishing experience, our employees are among the most qualified and committed in the industry. Whether you have the size and reputation of a Boeing, Lockheed, or Parker Hannifin or you run a two-person company, you can rest assured that each and every one of us at Hixson will work tirelessly to make your experience with us rewarding and worthwhile.
