Corporate News Welcome to the first issue of On the Surface!
It is our pleasure to bring you the inaugural issue of Bales Mold Service’s new publication, On the Surface. Once each quarter we will strive to present our audience with Company news, helpful tips and educational information of interest to the tooling industry and others that would also benefit from our knowledge and expertise in engineered coatings and finishes for manufacturing. This year Bales is celebrating its 30th anniversary in business. We’ve seen many challenges and triumphs come and go through the years, all the while working closely with our colleagues and customers to bring you new and innovative products and services that help improve production and increase profitability. We hope to continue on that path for another 30 years and we thank you for your business. Enjoy this issue of On the Surface, and don’t hesitate to let us know if there are any particular topics you’d like to see addressed in future issues by dropping us a line at info@balesmold.com. Bales Expands its Main Facility Bales has officially opened its newly constructed 14,000 square foot Tech Center at its headquarters in Downers Grove, Illinois. Incorporating “green” technology, the wing was added to provide better capacity for larger tooling. Notable production improvements resulting from the new addition include:
Bales is recognized as a leading full-service supplier of engineered coatings and finishes such as Electroless Nickel, Hard Chrome, Diamond Chrome, Nicklon®, NiBore®, Diamond Polishing, Micro TIG Welding, Blasting and SS Passivation. With the added square footage and multiple process improvements including anodizing, customers can now be even more confident of receiving top-quality services at competitive prices – all under one roof.

Product News New X-Ray Machine Takes Away Guesswork Bales Mold Service, a leader in engineered mold coatings and finishes, is stepping up its service to customers to ensure superior mold performance.
Today there are many “mystery metals” imported from China and other parts of the world. With its new Fischer Scope X-Ray Spectrometry XDL, Bales can determine the exact composition of the metal. The thickness of any coating on any substrate can also be determined within millionths, certified to NIST traceable standards. “We also use it to analyze the exact composition of our nickel plating bath,” says Bales President Steve Bales. “This way we can ensure the solution is maintained with the proper chemical balance from one plating project to the next.” The Fischer Scope X-Ray Spectrometry XDL ensures not only quality plating and polishing, but manufacturing excellence for Bales customers without the guesswork. Call 800-215-MOLD or visit www.balesmold.com.
In addition, Bales can combine welding with other services such as polishing and plating to turn jobs around faster and more cost-effectively. It’s just another reason to call Bales when your customer expects fast, effective results. |

Mold Service offers Micro TIG Welding services at its
main facility, allowing faster turn-around (as much as a day’s
time) on repair services. In many circumstances, because of its
miniature nature, our highly skilled polishing staff can
re-establish original configurations without compromising the
integrity of the tool.
