What is it

Since 1964, this family-owned company has specialized in servicing aluminum parts manufacturers to create products that are more resistant to corrosion and abrasion. With state-of-the-art technologies and chemical processes, including a proprietary PTFE impregnation process of hardcoat (LUKON 24), Luke has built customized solutions for the medical, automotive, aerospace, and defense industries, among others. Today, the company runs five anodizing lines with twelve processing tanks for maximum dependability and minimum lead times.

Who works here
Who to call
the organisation, the role and the published line, with the filing or website that published it; revealed to signed-in accounts
The firm's published line
Revealable: 2 business phones (the firm's own page) · as of 2026-09-25

Also named here, with no published line of their own (reach them through the firm): Meghan Bates (President), Scott Hayduk (General Manager).

Who to call is the organisation, the person's role and the line they published themselves: a business phone, office address, website or profile link from Form ADV, Form 13F or their own website, with that source named on every value. The counts above are what a reveal returns; a personal email is rarely published, so most reveals are the firm's line. Never data bought from a provider, never anything personal. Reveals by plan
