For over 30 years, Robert Peterson and Alternate Finishing have perfected plating techniques on various circuit boards (PCB) from flexible printed circuits (FPC) to ceramic thick films. Products with the boards we plated have survived the most stringent environment from space, deep sea, corrosive conditions, to inside of human body. As a privately-owned company whose owners perform daily work just as other employees, Alternate Finishing stands behind its product and services. It guarantees customer satisfaction, period. It has held ISO-9001 certification without non-conformance findings, and it has been ITAR-registered to plate mission-critical defense systems. As a true testimony of its value to customers, numerous thank-you messages and appeals poured in when the owners briefly thought of closing the company. Indebted to customers’ trust, the company has decided to open for long-term. Unlike some other companies who plate both circuits and mechanical parts, Alternate Finishing chooses to focus on board plating to eliminate cross-contamination, hold to consistent standards that are often much more stringent on PCB’s than on mechanical parts. Located in Metro Boston, Alternate Finishing serves customers across U.S. and Canada. Most jobs are finished within a day or two. For customers with urgent needs, Alternate Finishing plates while customers wait. Combined with overnight delivery, customers from far can receive their parts within a week. In an era when hundreds of circuits can be packed in a box of just a few pounds, cross-continental freight is no longer a big expense item. So why not partner with high quality supplier like Alternate Finishing?
