Passionnementchampagne began in Shah Alam with a simple conviction: aerospace components deserve coatings that are as reliable as they are refined. Our team of surface engineers, chemists, and quality inspectors works across three dedicated lines to deliver anodized aluminum and champagne metallic finishes that meet strict industry standards. We are a B2B manufacturer, not a general coating shop, and every batch we ship reflects that focus.
2016 — We set up a single anodizing line in Shah Alam with a focus on aerospace-grade aluminum. The first batch of test coupons went to a local MRO for salt-spray validation.
2018 — Our champagne gold metallic finish passed the 500-hour corrosion test required for cabin interior brackets. This opened the door to tier-2 suppliers in the region.
2020 — Installed a second anodizing tank and a dedicated sealing station. This doubled our weekly output and allowed us to run two different alloys in parallel without cross-contamination.
2022 — Adopted digital batch tracking with full traceability from raw ingot to finished part. Every coating run now carries a unique code that links to thickness and adhesion records.
2024 — Expanded our quality lab with a dedicated spectrophotometer and cross-hatch adhesion tester. This lets us verify color consistency and coating integrity on every batch before dispatch.
Each milestone reflects a deliberate step toward tighter tolerances and more consistent metallic finishes for aerospace components.
Passionnementchampagne started in 2012 as a two-tank anodizing operation in Shah Alam. What began with prototype work for local machine shops grew into a certified coating facility serving aerospace component manufacturers across Southeast Asia. The milestones below mark the decisions that shaped how we work today.
We opened with a single Type II anodizing line and a handshake agreement with a Penang-based precision machining shop. The first batch was 47 aluminum brackets for an avionics enclosure prototype. We ran the line overnight to meet the delivery window, and that client still sends us work today.
After two years of only clear and black anodize, we installed a dedicated dye tank for champagne gold and bronze finishes. The trigger was a request from a cabin interior supplier who needed a consistent metallic tone across seat track trim. We spent four months tuning the dye concentration and seal bath before the first approved production run.
We passed our AS9100D audit in March 2018, which changed how we document every batch. Thickness readings, adhesion tests, and dye lot numbers now follow each part from racking to packing. The certification opened doors to tier-two suppliers who previously required overseas coating vendors.
In response to demand for lighter, more reflective surfaces, we added a two-step electrolytic coloring process. This allowed us to produce champagne silver and pale gold finishes with tighter color tolerance than traditional dyeing. The new line runs alongside the original tanks, giving us flexibility for small-batch and high-volume orders.
We built a small laboratory on site to measure coating thickness, salt spray resistance, and color consistency without sending samples to a third party. The lab reduced our inspection turnaround from five days to same-day, which matters when a client is waiting to assemble a shipment of door frames or overhead bin components.
Our newest building houses a dedicated pre-treatment line with ultrasonic cleaning and deoxidizing stages. Separating pre-treatment from the anodizing tanks reduced contamination risk and improved the uniformity of the oxide layer. It also freed capacity in the main plant, letting us take on larger aerospace extrusions up to six meters long.
