Masker - part preparation

Tired of the mundane? Ready to bring precision and artistry to metal finishing? We're looking for a meticulous Masker to join our dynamic team and play a vital role in creating flawless powder-coated products.

Company Overview

Westside Finishing began as a liquid coatings job shop in the early 80's. In 1986 Westside Finishing purchased its first powder coating setup and began spraying powder coatings. Our company has come a long way since that time and we now offer a much wider array of services including silk screening, pad printing, trucking, subassembly, final packaging, etc. Over the years we have significantly increased the size and volume capability of parts we are able to coat by installing new coating equipment, increasing inventory and bringing new members onto our team.

Located in Holyoke, MA. Our company is a leader in the Metals Finishing Industry. Our facility has undergone two expansions which have taken us up to approximately 30,000 square feet of space. It's because of our commitment to quality and service that we continue to grow.
