DOWNERS GROVE, ILL. — Bales Mold Service Inc. was to open its second plant March 5, in the Rio Grande Valley region of Texas.
The Downers Grove-based company will offer mold polishing, precision nickel and chrome plating, and welding services to mold makers and molders in the Southwest and Mexico.
The 7,000-square-foot plant in Harlingen, Texas, will start with three employees, said Harry Raimondi, Bales' technical services manager. Many of Bales' tooling and molding customers are moving to that region, Raimondi said.
