Q: Does Summit offer plant tours?
We welcome play visitors but do not arrange “Tours” unless 100% necessary – an for 3 good reasons:

First, we have developed many proprietary, advantageous processes for electroplating on round wire, loose parts and more. So we need to protect those intellectual properties.

Second, we often sign strict confidentiality agreements with clients to protect intellectual property — so we cannot risk compromising those important agreements.

Third, the Industrial Electroplating environment can pose dangers to those not outfitted for n— and trained in — safe electroplating procedures. So an open plant tour would provide more risk than benefit.

Yes — we offer Paid Vacations & Holidays, Medical Insurance, Credit Union Membership and a Retirement Plan.
