Balford opens a public newsroom for press releases and capability updates

Published September 19, 2026 · Zhuji, Zhejiang

Balford has opened a company newsroom at balford.net/news/. It carries press releases, plant and capability updates, quality and documentation news, and company milestones — each one dated and permanently addressable. Technical writing (process guides, tolerance tables, material selection notes) continues to live on the engineering blog at balford.net/blog/.

Every item published here also appears in an RSS 2.0 feed at balford.net/news/feed.xml, and each release is marked up as a NewsArticle with its publication date, so it can be read, syndicated or cited without ambiguity about when it was issued. Press enquiries go to shawn@balford.net.

What will be published here

  • Capacity and equipment: press range, tool room, machining and secondary operations, and what changed
  • Quality and documentation: PPAP and first-article document scope, inspection equipment, material compliance work such as IMDS and RoHS/REACH declarations
  • Product news: new catalogue series, tooling carried in stock, and applications opened for quoting
  • Company milestones: plant, people, certifications held — and, where relevant, what we do not hold

What will not be published here

Promotional posts. A release only goes out if there is something factual to report; if a month passes without one, nothing is published. The same rule applies to what we say about the plant: capability statements stay inside what we can document, and the limits are published as openly as the capabilities — see what Balford cannot do.
