A family name.
An industrial standard.

W. Kendall & Sons began as an industrial sandblasting contractor in 1971. Today, our Wanatah shop brings preparation, corrosion control and specialty finishing together.

1971Where our story starts.

The materials evolve.
The commitment stays.

A finish is the visible result of the decisions underneath it.

Large rooms, blast cabinets and micro-blasting support different scales of preparation. Coating applicators and inspection instruments support the finishing work that follows.

From small, one-off pieces to fabricated assemblies, the conversation starts with the material and the service conditions.

Dimensions, critical surfaces and service conditions belong in the first conversation.
