ABOUT US

Since 1945, Metal Improvement Company (MIC) has been a pioneer in the shot peening industry by continually advancing the state-of-the-art in customized shot peening equipment and shot peening techniques. Today, MIC operates 24 shot peening facilities in North America and 12 in Europe, and also has the capability to provide on-site shot peening services on a worldwide basis for aircraft, power generation and construction & refurbishment projects.

MIC has extended the science of imparting engineered residual stresses to metal surfaces by the recent introduction of our laser peening process. We operate one laser peening facility in North America and one in Europe to provide this unique technology to customers on both continents. Applications have emerged for turbine engines, aircraft structures, nuclear waste disposal, power generation and medical implants.

In 1979, MIC diversified its service offerings by entering the commercial heat treating business. At present MIC operates nine U.S. facilities that perform thermal processing of aluminum and steel components.
