Everything you need to run your metal finishing shop from Anodizing Chemicals to Zinc Plating processes.  All metal cleaners and processes are not created equal.  And not all processes are routine.  Marathon brings years of experience in metal working, cleaning, finishing chemicals and solutions.  We can not only provide you the “what”. We can provide you the “how and why” as well as make it the most efficient and environmentally process possible.  

Working with our partners at Gilbert and Jones and MacDermid Enthone, Marathon sells and supports the products and processes manufactured, distributed by and inventoried by these world class companies.
