We talk with Ralph Capalbo Jr. from New Method Plating in Worcester, Massachusetts, where Capalbo worked for almost 60 years in a company started by his father.

“I’ve tried to run a successful business for the last 57 years, so now I am glad that the boys are in there now,” says Capalbo, who turned the business over to his sons, Nick and Chris.

New Method offers many plating processes, including cadmium, which not many shops offer these days. Capalboadmits it is harder to run a plating operation these days because of the more stringent government regulations.
