Bob Ford — Co-Founder & General Manager, 1948–2022
Bob Ford co-founded West-Tech Finishing in 1988 alongside Matteo Iacovelli. Bob brought his experience from the finishing industry — earned at Spar Aerospace Products — together with Matteo's machine shop, on a simple idea: give customers one trusted place for both machining and finishing, done right and delivered on time.
Over more than 38 years as General Manager, Bob built a team of dedicated people and a reputation for quality that still defines West-Tech today. He remained a trusted mentor to the team even after retirement.
As the company moves forward, we carry his standards with us. West-Tech was built on his vision, and his legacy lives on in every part we finish.
— Bob Ford, Co-FounderWe want to be recognized by our clients, employees and communities as a top North American premier aluminum surface treatment company in terms of quality of work and service, production lead times and sustainable practices.
