Family-owned in Texas since 1979. Two facilities, over 120,000 square feet, over 150 customers — and one company for both plating and coating.
Gleco started in 1979 in a tiny building in Garland, Texas. Today Gleco runs two fully equipped Texas facilities totalling over 120,000 square feet, serving over 150 customers across aerospace, defense, electronics, medical, automotive and industrial manufacturing.
In 2024 we acquired 3D Paint & Powder Coating — a production coating shop that had been running in the Dallas Metroplex for four decades — and rebranded it Gleco Paint & Powder Coating. That is why this operation has 40 years of coating history and Gleco has 47 years of finishing history: both are true, and both now sit inside one company. Legally we are Gleco Plating, Inc. dba Gleco Paint and Powder Coating, which is what makes a single PO and a single certification package possible.
When a project needs a modification, we have the chemists on staff to make the call — not a ticket to a supplier and a week of waiting.
Process engineering support that reduces production time instead of adding review cycles.
Plating, anodizing and passivation run alongside paint and powder inside the same company, so multi-process parts never change hands.
Prototype quantities and production runs on the same certified lines, with the scheduling discipline to hold your dates.
A family business now in its third generation. The name on the building belongs to people who still work here.
AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 certified, ITAR registered, RoHS compliant — with the records to prove it.
Aerospace quality management standard.
Certified quality management system.
Registered for defense-related work.
Restricted substances compliance.
Our sister operation, Gleco Plating, runs zinc and zinc-nickel, bright and sulfamate nickel, electroless nickel, tin, silver, gold, cadmium, anodizing, chem film and passivation — plus the pickling and degreasing that goes with them. Same company, same quality system, same people to call.
Yes. Legally it is Gleco Plating, Inc. doing business as Gleco Paint and Powder Coating — one company, one quality system, two Texas facilities.
