Three decades of precision craftsmanship and innovation in metal finishing services
Established in 1995, Gretna Plating & Polishing began as a small family-operated workshop with a vision to provide uncompromising quality in metal finishing services throughout Louisiana.
Our founder, Robert Burgess, started the company with a simple philosophy: treat every piece as if it were your own. This commitment to personal attention and meticulous craftsmanship has remained our cornerstone through nearly three decades of operation. From humble beginnings with basic polishing equipment, we've grown into a full-service metal finishing facility serving industrial, automotive, and restoration markets across the Gulf Coast region.
Today, under the leadership of Priscilla Burgess, we continue the tradition of excellence while embracing modern technologies and sustainable practices. Our state-of-the-art facility combines time-tested techniques with advanced equipment to deliver superior results on every project.
