In 1955, Balfor Industries originated as a small machine shop which serviced local chemical processing companies. As one of the earliest processors of fluoropolymer products, Balfor quickly became a leader in the design and manufacture of products for the chemical processing, petrochemical, valve, pump, appliance and related industries. Balfor became the manufacturing facility for Johns-Manville's Chempac fluoropolymer products in the 1960's and 1970's. Today, Balfor is a privately owned company specializing in the design and manufacture of a wide range of plastic and metal products. We service an unlimited number of industries with national and international sales and distribution.Our philosophy has remained the same as it was when we started: to provide quality products at a competitive price, backed by the best customer service in the industry. As we have increased in size over the years, we have retained a small business approach to every aspect of our business. Perhaps this is one reason why we are on a first-name basis with most of our over 500 customers.
