KEPCO, Inc. Acquired by High Performance Metal Finishing

We are pleased to announce the sale of our client, KEPCO, Inc., to High Performance Metal Finishing. The acquisition closed December 4, 2025.

Headquartered in Vicksburg, Michigan, KEPCO, Inc. is a metal-finishing company specializing in electropolishing, passivation, and cleaning of stainless-steel parts, fittings, and vessels. The firm uses a proprietary automated process to deliver consistent, high-volume finishing for both small parts and larger components. KEPCO serves clients across industries such as automotive, medical, aerospace, water purification, and others, helping improve surface cleanliness, corrosion resistance, and overall finish quality. The company is committed to quality, environmental compliance, and reliable customer service.

Based in Portage, Michigan, High Performance Metal Finishing is a leading provider of electropolishing, passivation, media blasting, and powder coating services. This strategic expansion increases High Performance’s production capacity, enhances its technical depth, and strengthens its ability to support customers with a broader spectrum of electropolishing and passivation solutions. The combined expertise and capabilities of both organizations position the company to deliver an elevated level of service, quality, and lead-time to manufacturers across the region.
