About the Products Finishing Top Shops Benchmarking Survey The Products Finishing Top Shops Benchmarking Survey is conducted every year for both the electroplating and liquid/ powder coating industry. It is the most comprehensive benchmarking survey in the finishing industry, and one that many job shops and coating operations use to set operational and efficiency goals. Each shop that supplies data to the survey will receive extensive benchmarking data in a series of reports. How can your shop prepare to earn the distinction of Top Shops status? Complete the benchmarking survey next year; the electroplating survey will take place this winter, and the liquid and powder coating version in the spring. Participating shops receive an exclusive Top Shop Executive Summary with data and statistics to help them improve in areas such as finishing technology, performance and practices, business strategy, and human resources.
