Metalplate Galvanizing has over sixty years of hot-dip galvanizing experience and can trace its origin back to a small metal finishing shop in Montgomery, Alabama that was started in the mid-1930's. Our lore states the shop “bronzed babies' booties and re-silvered rich ladies' teapots.” That operation eventually moved to Birmingham, Alabama where “there were more babies and rich ladies.” In response to customer requests and local need, Metalplate began hot-dip galvanizing in Birmingham in 1949.
