HARLINGEN, TEXAS – Texas Plating & Polishing Solutions (TPPS) is a metal finishing company that provides clients with chrome, polish, and nickel finishes for the plastic and mold industry.

Located in Harlingen, the company opened in 2001, and owners Jose J. Gonzalez and Salomon Garcia, have a combined 30 years of experience in the metal finishing industry.

So, what exactly does a metal finishing company do? TPPS receives materials to create molds for electrical box components, cosmetic products like lipstick and makeup cases. The company mainly creates molds for the automotive industry, and appliance and medical companies.

Despite the growing pandemic concerns last year, business remained steady for TPPS. The company recently expanded its facility to a new 6,000 square foot building that is better equipped to handle their incoming orders.

TPPS’s clients span from all over the USA and into parts of Canada, but a majority of the company’s business is located in Mexico – about 90%, according to Gonzalez.

And it is Harlingen’s unique centralized location within the Rio Grande Valley and its proximity to Mexico, by way of Los Indios Free-Trade International Bridge, that benefits the business and why TPPS owners continue to choose Harlingen.

“The airport is also only five minutes away and the industrial area has a lot of potential for growth,” Gonzalez said. “And because we do a lot of work with Mexican clients, the bridge (Los Indios) is only 15-minutes away, placing us just minutes from Matamoros, Reynosa, and a few hours from Monterrey.”

Gonzalez added that the exclusive placing of Harlingen’s easy access to I-69 and other highways also places his company within easy reach of metro areas like Houston. Gonzalez added that they have also found that there is value in Harlingen’s hardworking and skilled workforce.

“We choose Harlingen because though it’s small, it offers everything a big city would and there is so much opportunity for growth.”
