Globe Products Announces New Plating Chemistry, Making Process Much More Efficient


Ennis, Texas – Globe Products, a worldwide leader in manufacturing high quality ferrules and eyelets for the past three decades, has recently made big changes to its plating chemistry formula for bath work, and can now handle its plating faster and more efficiently, with greater control over the procedure.



Globe Products implemented an automated barrel zinc plating line, designed by Jessup, in the mid-1990's using an alkaline bath. As part of Globe Products' ongoing commitment through its TS16949 program, the company has recently contracted with a new supplier who changed the chemical component of the plating bath.



This new chemistry will allow Globe Products to achieve a better plating density in low current, and a brighter finish.



"We can now do anything that requires an alkaline zinc bath, which will help us expand our customer base," said Globe Products general manager Kevin Lewis.  "We can do our own parts more efficiently, and we have expanded our capacity as well."



The majority of the parts Globe Products plates are for its own internal sales of ferrules, and inserts, but with a greater capacity can now handle any outside customer needs as well.



Globe Products can now plate Zinc-Yellow, Zinc-Clear-Trivalent, or Zinc-Clear w/Leachant Sealant, using a barrel process.



Globe Products Co., founded in 1981, specializes in producing hose ferrules for the automotive industry, hydraulic hose manufacturers, and also has clients in the medical field and plumbing industry.
