How it works
- 1
After you buy your bare copper or aluminum bars from the mill, ship them directly to us; there’s no need for you to take possession yet.
- 2
We warehouse the bars inside our massive storage facility–we can store as little as 10,000 pounds or as much as 500,000 for you. We use a live, interactive inventory database so that anyone at your company can log on and see the volume of bare bars you have stored at our facility at any given time.
- 3
When you’re nearly ready to use them, place your order with us, and we plate with your desired material.
- 4
We ship the finished bus bars to you within four days at the most, whether they’re 1 inch or 8 inches wide.

Silver or tin: Pick the plating material that works better for your application
Silver plating
- Highly conductive even when tarnished
- Stable resistance levels even with long-term heat exposure
- Good for sliding joints (primary disconnect assemblies) and rotating joints (moving switch blades)
- Prone to heavy corrosion in certain environments (high hydrogen sulfide)
- Significantly more expensive than tin
Tin plating
- Enhanced protection against corrosion
- Good choice for non-sliding and non-rotating applications
- Maintains conductivity over time
- Softer and higher resistance than silver
-
Not well-suited for use in primary disconnects or moving switch blades
