Copper Busbar & Tin Plating
Artificer Inc. is a Brantford, Ontario-based metal fabrication company specializing in custom copper bus bar fabrication and in-house tin plating services. We serve transformer manufacturers, switchgear builders, motor control centre (MCC) assemblers, and other industrial electrical manufacturers across Ontario and Canada. Whether you need cut-to-length bare copper, fully tin plated busbars to ASTM B545 standards, or complex formed and punched components, Artificer handles it all under one roof with an industry-leading 24-hour turnaround.
Why Choose Artificer for Copper Busbar?
Once we receive your material or order, parts ship back within 24 hours — ideal for just-in-time production and urgent orders.
Our tin plating is priced by surface area, not weight. This is more accurate and cost-effective, especially on complex or machined parts.
We plate only the sections that require it, leaving off-cuts as bare copper. Bare copper scrap is worth up to $0.50/lb more than tinned copper — real savings on every order.
All tin plating is performed to ASTM B545-13 standards for electrodeposited coatings of tin.
We can plate copper parts up to 90 inches long, covering the vast majority of busbar applications.
We stock a large inventory of bare copper in common sizes, or we can plate copper you supply.
Shearing, hole punching, deburring, forming, plating — all done in our Brantford facility with no outsourcing.
