In-House Polishing: A multitude of benefits

Having an in-house polishing department gives C&J the ability to keep our molds running at peak performance, our repair times to a minimum, our press hours up, and make customer deliveries on time.

Many businesses choose to outsource their polishing work, which can lower cost, but at C&J we prefer to keep our work in-house for reasons of quality and streamlined processes which can translate to a quicker time to market for our customers.

There are 12 SPI rated finishes, from high gloss Diamond finish to a rough Dry Blast finish, our tooling experts can help determine which surface finishes are best for your project.
