Our polishing department is what sets Triangle Metals apart from our competitors. We strive to be the best at stainless steel finishing. We will work with our customers to find the surface finish and look of part that fits their requirements. That includes simple weld discoloring to grinding and polishing all the way to a mirrored #8 finish for the most stringent pharmaceutical and dairy requirements. We also offer bead-blast services to achieve uniform finishes. In addition we can utilize our finishing technologies to create sanitary branding options such as bead blasted logos finished directly onto the completed weldments. Our engineers will work closely with the customers and the polishing department to create the perfect solution for you and your business.
