American Revolution, Inc. is your surface finishing integrator, providing many surface finishing services to industrial, aerospace, and automotive/motorcycle customers worldwide. Over the last 7
years, we have evaluated and qualified suppliers that can meet our exacting needs for quality, service, and pricing. We bring to the table expert chemical/finishing expertise that allows us to choose
the right process for your needs, find the right supplier(s) to provide those services, and manage the entire finishing project until the product is delivered and the customer is satisfied. We serve
small and large customers. Customers with one-off custom parts for show bikes/cars, or large industrial customers with thousands of parts to be polished and plated. No job is too small or
large.
