Wyoming’s First Advanced Metal Finishing Facility

GSO Metals is launching a fully certified anodizing and coating operation to serve the Mountain West. We’re currently raising $6.5M to activate production and meet validated market demand.

The Problem

• No in-state anodizing or PVD/DLC coating
• Shipping out-of-state adds cost and turnaround risk
• No scalable, certified metal finishing infrastructure in Wyoming

Our Solution

GSO Metals is building Wyoming’s first scalable, certified surface finishing facility — including Type II/III anodizing, heat treating, and PVD/DLC coatings. Our black oxide system is already in service and generating revenue.

• Type II & III anodizing (aluminum)
• PVD/DLC coatings (future phase)
• Hot black oxide (currently operational)
• Heat treating (planned expansion)

Traction to Date

• $175,000+ lifetime revenue from black oxide services
• 50+ manufacturers in active conversations
• Facility layout and vendor quotes secured
• Target certifications: ISO 9001, AS9100, NADCAP

Investment Opportunity

We are raising $6.5 million to launch full operations. The funds will be used for facility buildout, equipment acquisition, certifications, and team hiring.

• 45% Equipment & automation
• 25% Facility buildout
• 20% Certification & staffing
• 10% Operating runway

Exit Options: Strategic acquisition, dividend model, or long-term growth.
