Imagineering Finishing Technologies

Our company was founded in 1959 by David E. Huber, a Notre Dame School of Metallurgical Science graduate. While working at a National Space science lab, he formed the notion of a company to have as its business mission to innovate and to decipher everyday engineering problems related to wear and corrosion of metallic substrates. Upon launching Imagineering, he developed boutique coatings for aerospace and automotive application during his career and consulted many of the Fortune 1000 industrial firms. He sold his business to the current President/CEO, Jim Hammer, in 1996.

Since 1996 Imagineering has expanded its asset base by 450%; staff of employees by 330%; with revenue improvement of approximately 500%. The Imagineering brand is globally acknowledged as the KnowledgeSource™ for Metal Finishing.
