West Town Plating, Inc. is a family-owned business started by Paul Glab in Cicero, Illinois  in 1953.  Thanks to Paul’s dedication, innovation, and natural knack for chemistry, the company grew, quickly becoming successful and specializing in bulk barrel Copper,  bulk barrel Nickel and bulk barrel Chrome plating on several different base metals.

The second generation of ownership took over at West Town Plating in 1978, when Gerald Glab brought his knowledge of metal finishing, purchasing, and sales to the company, expanding the loyal client base.

Today, the third generation of Glab family members continue to grow West Town Plating with the same goal of providing customers with high quality finishes, produced on time and at competitive prices.
