Annually, the top-performing coating and finishing establishments across North America participate in the Products Finishing Top Shops Benchmarking Program to assess and enhance their operational efficiency. Beyond an award, the program provides participating shops with customized reports derived from comprehensive benchmarking data, providing valuable insights into their operational comparative performance with industry counterparts across pivotal performance metrics.
“This is the 11th year of the Top Shops Benchmarking Survey — a program developed to give industrial finishers a non-biased, data-driven way of evaluating their business,” says Products Finishing editor-in-chief Scott Francis. “With each edition, we continue to refine the survey process and deliver benchmarking reports that offer real value for participants.”
In addition to these customized insights, qualifying shops receive recognition across Products Finishing’s media platforms and at industry events, elevating Top Shops status to a significant achievement within the finishing industry.
U.S. Chrome Corporation of New York has been designated as a 2025 Products Finishing Top Shop, commensurate with the outcomes of this year’s benchmarking survey.
“This distinction reflects strong performance across a range of business and operational metrics — a testament to the dedication and excellence of your entire team,” says Francis. “Sincere congratulations to the team at U.S. Chrome Corp. of New York for earning recognition as a 2025 Top Shop.”
Each year, hundreds of finishing operations contribute to the Top Shops program, contributing to an accumulating dataset that supports ongoing advancements in finishing technology, business strategy, workforce development, and shopfloor performance.
