For the second week in a row we shipped lead products from our stock to other machine shops in the USA for their value added services. Nuclead can also provide value added services through Sharp Manufacturing including 100% fabricated assemblies and sub-assemblies. All metal and aluminum products and weldments are fabricated then assembled with your lead items for a complete assembly. Finished products can be finished in several ways, for example they can be plated, powder coated or painted to any specification. This means a complete product arrives on your dock, ready for additional sub-Assembly, testing or delivery to your customers.
