About Us
A Legacy of Durable Metal Finishing Since 1950
Peter Mastrobattista, president of Bass Plating, carries on a family legacy that began in 1950. His father, Rocco, took over the business from founder Jack Bass, building a strong foundation that Peter continues to grow today. Based in Connecticut, Bass Plating was established to serve the Northeast, and now provides high-quality rack and barrel metal finishing to businesses across the United States. Operating out of a 45,000 square foot facility with 7 automated rack lines and 3 automated barrel lines, the company specializes in high-volume and large-piece plating.

Our Capabilities
The Bass Plating Company provides a full range of metal finishing services, specializing in high-volume and large-piece plating. With state-of-the-art automated rack and barrel lines, we deliver reliable finishes to meet diverse industry needs. Our expertise ensures durable, corrosion-resistant coatings that meet the highest performance standards.
Zinc Plating
Zinc plating provides a protective coating that enhances corrosion resistance and extends the lifespan of metal components. Ideal for a variety of industries, this finish offers a durable, cost-effective solution for preventing rust and wear.
Tin Plating
Tin plating provides a smooth, conductive, and corrosion-resistant finish, making it ideal for electrical components and food-safe applications. This coating enhances solderability, reduces wear, and protects against oxidation in demanding environments.
Chemical Films
Chemical films provide a protective conversion coating that enhances corrosion resistance and adhesion for paints or adhesives. This process is commonly used on aluminum surfaces to improve durability while maintaining conductivity.
Aluminum Etching
Aluminum etching removes surface contaminants and creates a uniform texture, improving adhesion for coatings and enhancing corrosion resistance. This process is ideal for preparing aluminum components for finishing while maintaining precision and consistency.
