Who We Are
Canada's Trusted Chemical Processing Specialist
Since our founding, AS Processing has established itself as one of Canada’s leading providers of protective chemical finishing and plating. Operating from our state-of-the-art facility in Fort Erie, Ontario, we serve manufacturers and prime contractors who cannot afford to compromise on quality, traceability, or compliance.
Our clients work in environments where a coating failure isn’t just a cost — it’s a mission risk. That’s why every process we run is governed by a rigorous Quality Management System registered to AS9100 Revision D and ISO 9001:2015, and backed by NADCAP accreditation in Chemical Processing.
Whether you need a single prototype processed or a high-volume production run turned around on schedule, AS Processing brings the same precision, documentation, and accountability to every job.
