B&C Die Cast was founded in 1984 as a family-owned and operated business. They soon built a reputation and became one of the leaders in the industry with their quality product and service. In 1998, B&C joined the Pace family, specializing in 100% zinc die castings. B&C produces flash free intricate castings in their TS 16949 certified facility because of their conventional and multi-slide die casting skills.

Aside from die casting, B&C offers in-house machine and assembly experience to provide customers with options. Skills include: single spindle drilling and tapping operations, CNC machinery, multi-slide machine centers and component assembly. Below is a glimpse inside the factory’s day to day operations.

General Manager, JEL Finishing

From painting wheels for Henry Ford to painting computers for Digital Equipment to finishing castings for Pace Industries Cambridge Division, JEL Finishing, a company with over 85 years of experience, has become known as the “Finishing Specialist.”

JEL is known for its quality work and solutions in chromating, phosphating, wet painting, robotic electrostatic painting, silk screening, pad printing, stenciling as well as multiple automated powder coat systems. They are the authority on finishing aluminum parts, notably die castings.

In the 80’s, when the company was sold, the Nye’s name was dropped; JapEnameLac was shortened to JEL and completed to what there is today, JEL Finishing.

Throughout the company’s history and all of the many projects, JEL is proud of every piece of work they put out. A few notable projects JEL has worked on is the powdering and painting of parts to support American troops during the Iraqi conflict several years ago. JEL was tasked by the Army to finish reactive armor for Abram Tanks and parts for the netting system that QinetiQ developed to stop RPGs from killing troops in their lightly armored vehicles. But, you might also notice some of JEL’s projects everyday – the white satellite tracking dome on the back of tractors going down the highway, JEL painted every one of them for Qualcomm.  When a helicopter flies overhead, if a Flir infrared camera is attached to it, JEL was responsible for painting it.  And not to drop names, but if you go to Fenway Park, you may see some tables and stools JEL powder coated for the Red Sox.

JEL Finishing’s most recent and outstanding accomplishments was being named one of the best finishing shops in North America, according to an industry benchmarking survey conducted by Products Finishing magazine, a trade publication which has covered the industry since 1938.

JEL’s quality, customer service and technical expertise make them stand apart from other job shop finishers.  The fact that they are integrated with in-house pretreatments such as blasting, chromating and zinc phosphating, can painting or powder coating small and large jobs, assembling hardware and also offer expert masking and printing services sets them apart from others. They are a solution provider offering a wide array of capabilities and services. They preach and practice safety first and respect and value every associate.  JEL’s associates are their best assets.
