Imagineering Finishing Technologies

Our company was founded in 1959 by David E. Huber, a Notre Dame School of Metallurgical Science graduate. While working at a National Space Science lab, he formed the notion of a company to have as its business mission to innovate and decipher everyday engineering problems related to the wear and corrosion of metallic substrates. Upon launching Imagineering, he developed boutique coatings for aerospace and automotive applications during his career and consulted many Fortune 1000 industrial firms. He sold his business to the current President/CEO, Jim Hammer, in 1996.

Since 1996 Imagineering has expanded its asset base by 450%; and staff of employees by 330%; with revenue improvement of approximately 500%. The Imagineering brand is globally acknowledged as the KnowledgeSource™ for Metal Finishing.

Imagineering Enterprises is a provider of metallurgical consulting and process applications in a wide range of markets where the finish is merely a beginning. Our processing facilities are certified to world-class quality and environmental standards, and we were one of the first metal finishing companies in the world to achieve TS-16949, ISO 9001, AS 9100, and Nadcap quality program accreditations, in addition to attaining the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System certification.
