No Job Too Small

Dave Staadt has been restoring antique automobiles for decades and has always relied on ProStrip to help him get his vehicles in pristine condition. 

“I use ProStrip’s services a lot of times when a car is rusty,” Staadt says. “We disassemble it and take it to ProStrip, and their team will use their processes to strip off years of rust, grease and dirt.”

No matter the size of the project, Tonya Vojtkofsky says ProStrip can take care of it. “We can strip small, delicate parts, anything like nuts and bolts to whole car bodies, car chassis, machine frames and components.” 

Vojtkofsky grew up in the family business and watched her father, Joe Bruck, earn a reputation for doing high-quality work with quick turnaround times and competitive pricing. That continues today at the company’s facility on West State Boulevard, with Vojtkofsky now at the helm. Her two sons, Damon and Levon, work alongside her to expand the business in order to serve even more industrial, commercial and residential customers. 

In addition to metal cleaning, ProStrip offers powder coating, which is a baked-on paint that’s durable, chip resistant and contains UV protection. It’s ideal for giving new life to things like auto or motorcycle parts, fencing, outdoor furniture and tools. The business also provides ceramic coating, which works well on exhaust parts or other high-temp applications. For those who want a more natural polished look on aluminum, ProStrip offers burnishing.

No matter the service, Vojtkofsky says doing it right the first time is the company’s top priority. She gets great satisfaction knowing ProStrip has helped thousands of people and companies in northeast Indiana for 40 years.

“It’s really cool to see a completed project come back to us, whether it be a drive-by or a photo sent. It’s neat to be a part of this from the ground up. We get things done quickly without compromising quality. We do put a lot of pride in that. We pay attention to the details. Quality is the most important thing because at the end of the day, that’s our name,” she stresses. As for what’s next? “We definitely have plans to grow. We would like to have a larger state-of-the-art powder facility. We’re also looking into expanding our ceramic coating applications.” 

That’s great news for customers like Dave Staadt, who relies on ProStrip to help with his automobile restoration projects. “They’re great to work with. They’re very flexible and work hard to please the customer,” he says. “That started with Tonya’s dad — he was a perfectionist, for sure. He’s passed that on to her and his grandsons. Whenever I need something from them, I never have to worry about it being done right. You can trust them.”
