ABOUT
Six decades finishing parts for the defense industrial base.
Quality Metal Finishing Corporation has operated from the same location in Paterson, New Jersey for over sixty years. We finish parts for the Department of Defense, prime contractors, and local machine shops.
OUR HISTORY
Quality Metal Finishing Corporation has been family owned and operated since 1964, serving the Department of War and the machine shops that supply it. Same ownership, same building, same standard.
The company was founded by Rich Longo phosphating and painting XM650 projectile shells for the Army. That work established our reputation with prime contractors, and by the mid eighties the plant had outgrown its original floor several times over. Today we operate forty thousand square feet of plating, anodize, phosphate and paint lines under one roof, with no outsourcing.
Mark Leonardis took over as president 40 years ago and continues to run the business hands on. He has grown the business into one of the Top Finishing Shop's in the country. QMF has partnered with Picatinny Arsenal for years, helping engineers determine which coatings suit their prototypes, and we continue to serve both government and commercial customers.
Mark Leonardis Sr. & Mark Leonardis Jr.
Mark Leonardis Junior has become a finishing expert under the tutelage of Mark Senior for the past fifteen years. Mark Jr. has been around plating since he was twelve years old, helping rack parts on the shop floor and file papers in the office.
