The company
The team behind the finish
Hampshire Metal Coatings is a family-run surface engineering partner, finishing precision components for engineers across the UK. We bring 25+ years' combined experience and multiple finishing processes together under one roof in Portsmouth, backed by ISO 9001 quality.

Our story
How we got here
Our acquisition of E. Williams Surface Treatments brought electroless nickel plating and its experienced team into the business, and additional premises at Limberline have expanded our capacity. We continue to invest, including plans for an automated electroless-nickel line, so we can finish more, faster, to the same standard.
Despite that growth, we remain a family-run business, focused on long-term partnerships built on quality, honesty, and technical expertise.
