Nassau Chromium Plating Co., Inc., operating as Nassau Chrome, is a fourth-generation, family-owned electroplating and metal finishing service provider founded in 1929 and headquartered at 112-122 Second Street, Mineola, New York. The company operates approximately 50 plating tanks under a single roof and offers a comprehensive service suite including chrome plating (polished, satin, brushed), electroless and bright nickel plating, anodizing per MIL-PRF-8625, chromate conversion coating per MIL-DTL-5541, plus tin, copper, zinc, cadmium, and black oxide coatings, with complementary polishing, stripping, masking, passivation, sand blasting, phosphate coating, lacquer finishing, and dry film lubrication. Approximately 60% of intake is linked to aerospace and military customers, with named engagements involving Boeing Aircraft, Northrop Grumman, Sikorsky, NASA, and SpaceX, processed under MIL, ASTM, and AMS specifications and governed by NADCAP accreditation (AC7004 and AC7108) with 19 processes and over 50 specifications.

The firm's revenue model is job-based custom service work priced by material, size, weight, and part condition, with all quotes requiring physical part assessment (no remote pricing), deposits required before work begins, and supplemental NADCAP certification fees and hazardous waste surcharges for EPA/DEC compliance. The remaining revenue mix is split across classic car restoration professionals, antique shops, and individual consumers seeking show-quality finishes on sentimental or collectible items. The go-to-market combines enterprise field sales for aerospace primes with direct-to-consumer engagement via the company website (quote forms, gallery, blog, testimonials), phone (516-746-6666), and in-person shop visits; NCP International extends the brand's certification and non-destructive testing services beyond the domestic facility. The company is privately held, has no disclosed external investors or funding rounds, and is led by President Kaycee Martimucci, recognized as a 2024 Products Finishing 40 Under 40 winner.
