Founded on Innovation
Metalife Industries Inc., established in 1964, began as a franchise under a different name, operated by engineers William Beatty & Robert Kockler, Sr. The original application utilized a thin dense chromium process, born from Naval Research Laboratory's work during WWII, primarily for corrosive environments. After the war, this process proved exceptionally effective in wear applications like cutting tools, gauges, and drills.
Advancing Surface Technology
To this day, Metalife continues to innovate and refine our proprietary chromium application. Furthermore, in 1994, we introduced our advanced Metalife Polymer (MLP) coating. MLP delivers a hard, ductile, and exceptionally slippery surface that sets it apart from other coatings on the market.
