About B & L Scales, Inc.
B & L Scales, Inc. is based in Billings, Montana, and was founded in 1976 by C. Leroy McBride. McBride started the business by traveling across the state on a Goldwing motorcycle with a small trailer of tools, visiting customers and servicing scales and equipment. The company remains family-owned and is now operated by John and Nikki McFerran, with Nikki managing daily operations and John continuing semi-annual service routes across Montana, Wyoming, and parts of Colorado. The company sells and services a wide range of weighing equipment, from gram-capacity bench scales to truck and rail scales, along with scale indicators. It also supplies meat processing machinery such as grinders, mixers, slicers, smokers, vacuum packers, and associated supplies including cutlery, labels, and seasonings. Technicians hold state licenses in Montana and Wyoming for scale calibration, certification, repair, and placing-in-service reports. Customers include meat processors, delis, ranchers, grocers, farmers’ markets, taxidermists, industrial plants, and individual buyers throughout Montana and Wyoming. The business participates in regional groups such as the Montana Meat Processors Association and the Montana Taxidermist Association. B & L Scales emphasizes hands-on, on-site support — a tradition dating to its founding — with a policy of servicing both the equipment it sells and equipment from other sources. The company also acts as an authorized distributor and service representative for several scale and processing equipment brands.
