History

UltraClean Electropolish Incorporated was founded by Mr. R.K. (Keith) Raney and began operation in July of 2000.  Mr. Raney has worked in all facets of the electropolishing industry since 1975.  Throughout the years, he has been credited for many of the processes developed and utilized in the industry today.  Prior to the start of UltraClean, Mr. Raney's roots are far reaching into electropolishing history-

• The Raney family started the first electropolish facility in the southern US in 1975.  From this humble beginning Houston TX.  has become the electropolish capitol of the country with no fewer than 4 separate companies providing electropolish services having sprung from this original.
• The Raney family was instrumental in starting each of these companies as well as one additional company in the central US.
• Keith Raney has assisted four major vessel manufactures in the US with establishing their own  in-house Electropolish capabilities.
• Keith Raney has consulted with dozens of Electropolish practitioners over his thirty five years in the business.
