How we started our journey
EMF Corporation was founded in 1960 by Charles Smith primarily as a metal plating services facility. Fourteen years later, Paul Smith joins the company and opens a facility in Tennessee to serve the nuclear industry and the company begins offering electroforming services. As technology evolved, nickel electroforming became our main service offering. In 1980 EMF corporation moved to our facility in Colorado, and continued to refine and perfect our nickel electroforming process over the years.
