Our Purpose

We protect and enhance the parts that move the world.

Every part we plate ends up somewhere that matters — on a vehicle, inside an engine, on an aircraft, in a piece of equipment someone depends on. Our job is to make those surfaces stronger, safer, and more reliable.

That’s the reason KC Jones exists, and it’s what drives every decision we make.

Our Vision

To lead the industry in advanced plating and surface finishing.

We’re building a company that sets the standard for what a plating operation should look like — in capability, in quality systems, and in how we treat the people who do the work. That means investing in automation, expanding our technical range, developing our team, and creating real, lasting value for the customers who trust us with their programs.

Our Mission

Deliver superior plating through disciplined processes, technical expertise, and teamwork.

Quality first

We don’t ship questionable parts, period.

Process-driven

We trust disciplined systems over shortcuts.

Team-powered

No one here succeeds alone, and we don’t pretend otherwise.

Our Culture

A lot of companies talk about culture. We'd rather show it.

Here’s what it actually looks like at KC Jones.

We lead from the shop floor.

Leadership isn’t about titles. It’s about showing up, solving problems, and making things better on the production floor.

Accountability is the expectation.

We own our results. When something goes wrong, we don’t point fingers — we fix it. When something goes right, we recognize the people who made it happen.

Every employee matters.

Your role, your voice, your ideas — they all count here. KC Jones runs on the collective effort of our team, and we take that seriously.

We fix systems, not symptoms.

When something breaks, we find the root cause. Quick patches don’t cut it — we solve problems so they don’t come back.

Clean facilities, well-maintained equipment.

How we keep our space reflects how we do our work. Our facilities are organized, maintained, and built to run. The state of the floor tells you everything about the state of the operation.

These aren’t slogans. They’re the operating standards our team is held to — and holds each other to — every shift.

Why This Matters to You

The way a company operates internally is exactly how it'll perform on your program.

A team that holds itself accountable

doesn’t let bad parts ship.

A company that invests in its people

retains the experience your program depends on.

A culture built on process discipline

means your specs get followed — not just on the first run, but on the thousandth. That’s what you’re getting when you work with KC Jones.

Want to Be Part of It?

We’re always looking for people who take pride in their work and want to be part of something that’s growing. If what you’ve read here sounds like the kind of place you want to work, we’d like to hear from you.
