Ohio-based SIFCO Applied Surface Concepts (ASC) (www.sifcoasc.co.uk), a world-leading supplier of selective plating technology and solutions (and part of the UK-based Norman Hay plc), has completed a substantial refurbishment of its research and development laboratory in Cleveland.

The upgrade included durable easy-to-clean flooring, new cabinets, equipment and facilities, and a new ceiling with improved lighting throughout the laboratory.

It has been designed to give research engineers a spacious, practical and durable facility in which to conduct vital R&D work to directly support customers as well as the company’s manufacturing teams.
