American PVD Coatings operates in the motor vehicle manufacturing sector, specializing in applying a decorative chrome-like finish to automotive aftermarket wheels and components through the physical vapor deposition (PVD) process. The company traces its roots to American Powder Coating, established in 1985 in Southern California, and formed American PVD Coatings LLC in 2006 to commercialize PVD as a durable, environmentally friendlier finish for aftermarket parts. Based in Downey, California, the business positions itself as a provider of technically advanced coating solutions, expanding its capability with a facility-wide upgrade that added a new vacuum chamber, coating booths, and cure ovens to support its production. Its market focuses on automotive aftermarket customers seeking enhanced appearance and durability for wheels and components, addressing the need for chrome-like finishes without traditional plating. The company is relatively small in size and operates within the broader metal finishing and coatings industry, leveraging its historical experience with late-20th-century and early-21st-century coating technologies to deliver specialty PVD finishes.
