What Spray Tech Finishing does

Spray Tech Finishing is the industrial finishing services division of Dawson Metal Company, Inc., a privately held, family-owned metal fabrication and finishing business headquartered in Jamestown, New York, with Dawson Metal founded in 1946. Spray Tech Finishing operates a dedicated finishing and assembly facility in nearby Falconer, New York, providing B2B contract manufacturing services including powder coating, sandblasting, wet painting, metal finishing, and assembly & shipping. The company operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the broader Dawson Metal enterprise, which also runs fabrication operations out of Jamestown Plant 1 and sells premium architectural door products under the DAWSON brand across the United States.

The company's core capabilities center on vertically integrated metal fabrication and finishing with an emphasis on precision and aesthetic quality. Production equipment includes Amada laser cutting systems, CNC turret presses, press brakes, HAAS machining centers, welding cells, and robotic MIG welding systems (including a Cooper CRX-25iA Cobot), complemented by Haeger hardware insertion presses (824 OneTouch 5e, 824 Window Touch, HP6-C) and Amada ID40IV HP-NT resistance weld nuts and studs. Powder coating operations use advanced pretreatment processes and a dedicated clean pack environment exceeding 10,000 square feet with blacklight inspection. The architectural products division — manufactured primarily by Dawson Metal — sells the proprietary Transcend Thermally Broken Entrance series, the signature Superior Balanced Door, and additional door series (Standard, Ultra Narrow Stile, Designer, All Glass, Aluminum, Rugged HD, Retail, Custom, and Dawson Secure).

Revenue is generated through project-based contracts and custom quote pricing, with no standardized public pricing. The company employs an enterprise field sales motion managed through a Request a Quote system, supplemented by case studies, technical blog content, press coverage in industry publications, and tradeshow participation. The customer base spans architectural, transportation, medical, semiconductor, defense, retail, museum, hospitality, and education segments, with named engagements including Fujitsu, Positek RFID, the National Museum of American History, USC School of Cinematic Arts, The Capital Grille, and The Mansion at Peachtree. Dawson Metal has maintained ISO 9001:2015 certification through annual ANAB audits for over 20 years.
