Seeking Anodizer with purple dye tank
RFQ: I'm trying to find an anodizer that runs the color purple. We
(EDL) are a manufacturer of temperature measurement instrumentation & thermocouples. We currently are manufacturing a product and having the Aluminum rails anodized in colors which are customers require. We have a customer interested in our product; however, they want it anodized in their school color, purple. The purple that they are looking for is close to a Pantone purple # 2583.
I'm looking for a shop that is currently running a purple tank. Our quantities are normally small, around 500 to 1,000 pieces at a time.
