SDVOSB Expands 300-Language Interpretation Network Across Midwest

Columbus-Based SDVOSB Grows Multilingual Translation Services Across the Midwest
  Columbus, United States - October 12, 2026 / Bond Enterprise Language Services / 
  
Bond Enterprise Language Services (BELS) has expanded its multilingual translation and interpretation network across the Midwest, extending access to more than 300 languages for healthcare systems, legal proceedings, government agencies, and enterprise clients throughout the region. The Columbus, Ohio-based firm, operating as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), is scaling its infrastructure to meet the communication demands of institutions that serve linguistically diverse populations across multiple states.

Expanding the Interpretation Infrastructure Midwest-Wide

BELS operates from its Downtown Columbus headquarters at 341 S 3rd St Suite 100, Columbus, OH 43215, and has built its regional footprint by connecting clients to a professional linguist network of more than 20,000 specialists. The expansion deepens that coverage across the Midwest, making on-demand interpretation and certified translation Columbus Ohio services available to organizations that require immediate, round-the-clock access. With 24/7 availability built into its service delivery model, BELS addresses the operational reality that communication needs in healthcare emergencies, legal proceedings, and public services do not conform to business hours.
The expanded interpretation infrastructure Midwest network supports over 300 languages, including widely spoken languages such as Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic, Somali, and Amharic, as well as less commonly requested languages and dialects that are often difficult to source through conventional agencies. This breadth of coverage positions BELS to serve states across the Midwest where communities speaking these languages have grown significantly and where institutions face documented gaps in language access compliance.

Serving Healthcare, Legal, and Government Clients

Hospitals and health systems represent one of the primary sectors driving demand for BELS services in the region. Federal law requires healthcare organizations receiving federal funding to provide meaningful language access to patients with limited English proficiency, and the cost of non-compliance -- ranging from patient safety risks to regulatory penalties -- has made professional interpretation a institutional priority. BELS provides both in-person and remote interpretation options to support clinical consultations, discharge instructions, informed consent processes, and emergency triage communications.
Legal proceedings present an equally structured need. Courts, law firms, and public defenders operating in the Midwest require certified interpreters and document translation that meets evidentiary standards. BELS delivers certified translation services for legal documents including contracts, depositions, immigration filings, and court orders, ensuring accuracy and chain-of-custody documentation that legal professionals require.
Government agencies at the municipal, county, and state levels also engage BELS to satisfy language access obligations under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. From public benefits enrollment to emergency management communications, these agencies rely on the firm's network to deliver accurate interpretation and localization without the delays associated with traditional staffing models.

A Veteran-Owned Business with Regional Reach

BELS holds SDVOSB certification, a designation that reflects the ownership and operational involvement of a service-disabled veteran. This status makes BELS a qualifying vendor for federal and state procurement programs that set aside contracts for veteran-owned businesses, giving government clients an additional compliance pathway when selecting language service providers.
"Expanding our multilingual translation services across the Midwest is about closing real gaps in language access that directly affect how people interact with healthcare providers, courts, and government services," said Brandon Bond, of Bond Enterprise Language Services. "Our network exists to make sure that a patient in a hospital room or a family in a courtroom can communicate fully and accurately, regardless of the language they speak."
The expansion includes a broadened geographic presence detailed through the company's locations directory, which maps service availability across Midwest markets. Enterprise clients and institutions seeking to evaluate the scope of the network can access the full service overview through the Bond Enterprise Language Services website.

About Bond Enterprise Language Services

Bond Enterprise Language Services is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business headquartered in Downtown Columbus, Ohio, that provides multilingual translation services, interpretation, and localization across more than 300 languages. The company supports healthcare systems, legal institutions, government agencies, and enterprise organizations through a professional linguist network of over 20,000 specialists with 24/7 on-demand availability.

Constantine "Costa" Kapothanasis II Acquires The Lubri-Loy Company, Carrying a 77-Year-Old American Lubricant Brand Into Its Next Era

Founded in St. Louis in 1949 and on the grid at the 1953 Indianapolis 500, the heritage lubricant maker gets a new owner, a new look and a plan to return to the service bay.
ST. LOUIS - Oct. 12, 2026 - PRLog -- Constantine "Costa" Kapothanasis today announced that he has acquired The Lubri-Loy Company, Inc., the St. Louis-born lubricant maker in business since 1949. Kapothanasis is president and CEO of quick-lube operator Costa Oils Inc. and runs the Costa Filters performance filtration brand. He purchased 100% of the company from longtime owner David Graham through a private holding company. Terms were not disclosed.
Lubri-Loy keeps its name, its product line and the customer and distributor relationships it has built over decades. Company headquarters will remain in St. Louis, the city where Lubri-Loy was founded, with offices at the historic 701 Market Street. What changes is the ambition behind it.
"Lubri-Loy has been keeping American engines and machines running since Harry Truman was in the White House," said Kapothanasis. "You cannot build a 77-year-old brand. You can only inherit one and be worthy of it. My job is to protect what generations of customers have trusted and give this name the growth it has earned."
"Lubri-Loy has been a part of my life for a long time, and I was never going to hand it to someone who saw only a balance sheet," said David Graham. "Costa knows this industry, he respects where this brand came from, and he has the energy and the reach to take it places I could not. I cannot think of a better steward for the next 77 years."
Seventy-Seven Years in the Making
The Lubri-Loy name first went on a product in April 1949, according to the company's original federal trademark registration. That product was an oil additive, made in St. Louis, formulated to free sticky valves and cut engine friction. America was in the middle of its postwar car boom, and Lubri-Loy grew up alongside it.
Through the 1950s and 1960s the company became a familiar St. Louis name. It advertised in the city's newspapers and expanded its plant at 6319 Wilson Avenue under president Gene Brenfleck. In 1958 it introduced Clean 'N Tune, a treatment for carburetors, spark plugs, valves and rings. In 1960 the brand crossed the border with the formation of Lubri-Loy Canada Ltd. in St. Catharines, Ontario.
Over the decades that followed, Lubri-Loy moved from the corner service station to the factory floor. Under David Graham, who led the company for more than two decades, it built out its industrial line and its export business in Asia. Today Lubri-Loy supplies industrial oils, greases, food-grade lubricants and maintenance chemicals to plants and distributors across the United States.
The promise has not changed in 77 years: premium lubricants, without premium prices.
A Place in American Automotive History
Lubri-Loy was born the same year as the modern American engine. Cadillac and Oldsmobile introduced their high-compression overhead-valve V8s for 1949, and NASCAR ran its first Strictly Stock race that June. Faster, tighter, hotter engines asked more of the oil inside them. Lubri-Loy was made for that moment.
Four years later the brand was at the Brickyard. On May 30, 1953, the No. 62 Lubri-Loy Special, a Kurtis Kraft-Offenhauser driven by Joplin, Missouri, native Spider Webb, took the green flag from the 18th starting spot in the Indianapolis 500. The race is remembered as the "Hottest 500," run in heat so severe that relief drivers took over cars up and down the field. The Lubri-Loy Special was credited with 19th place, the best Indianapolis finish of Webb's career.
Because the Indianapolis 500 counted toward the World Drivers' Championship from 1950 through 1960, the Lubri-Loy Special still appears in Formula 1's official results.
Few independent lubricant brands can say they arrived at the dawn of the V8 era, raced at Indianapolis and are still shipping product 77 years later. Lubri-Loy can.
The Next 77 Years
Kapothanasis plans to pair Lubri-Loy's heritage with the tools of a modern lubricants business. The first moves are already underway:
 A new look rooted in the old one. Lubri-Loy returns with a bold block-letter wordmark in black, white and orange, and with "Lubri-Loy Roy," the brand's mascot.
A rebuilt lubriloy.com. The new site carries the full product catalog with spec sheets, a distributor locator, direct ordering and a heritage archive of the brand's vintage advertising and racing history.
Lubri-U. A new training and product-knowledge platform gives the Lubri-Loy team courses, certifications and a single library of technical documents.
A return to the service bay. Lubri-Loy plans to bring automotive products back to its line, starting in the more than 60 quick-lube locations operated by Costa Oils Inc.
Continuity for industrial customers. Existing products, part numbers, ordering channels and distributor relationships remain in place.
 
"The history is the asset," Kapothanasis said. "The plan is simple. Keep every customer we have, tell the story this brand has earned, and put Lubri-Loy back in the hands of people who turn wrenches for a living. This company started under the hood of the American car. It belongs there again, and on every plant floor in the country."
About The Lubri-Loy Company
Founded in St. Louis in 1949 and still headquartered there, The Lubri-Loy Company supplies industrial oils, greases, food-grade lubricants and maintenance chemicals to manufacturers, maintenance teams and distributors. The brand began as an automotive oil additive, raced at the 1953 Indianapolis 500 and has served American industry for 77 years under one promise: Premium Lubricants, Without Premium Prices.

Wisconsin Stamping & Manufacturing Highlights Industrial Benefits of Raschig Rings

GERMANTOWN, WI - October 12, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Wisconsin Stamping & Manufacturing, an ISO 9001 certified metal fabrication company located in Germantown, Wisconsin, has released new information detailing the industrial benefits of raschig rings and their expanding role across chemical processing and separation operations. The announcement outlines how the company manufactures these random packing components for facilities that depend on efficient mass transfer, and it clarifies the material options and performance characteristics that engineers weigh when specifying packing media for demanding environments.
Raschig rings are tubular metal pieces that typically feature an equal length and diameter, and they are used as random packing materials inside process equipment. When loaded into a column or vessel, the rings settle into a randomly packed configuration that creates a large amount of surface area within a compact footprint. That surface area, combined with the open geometry of each ring, promotes contact between liquid and vapor streams and supports the chemical and physical exchanges that many industrial processes require.
The company noted that raschig rings serve a wide range of applications. They are commonly installed in fractional distillation columns, quench towers, and gas absorption and stripping systems, and they are also used as media supporting reactor internals. In each case, the packing helps distribute flow, increase interfacial contact, and improve the overall efficiency of mass transfer operations. Because the rings can be produced in numerous sizes, they allow process engineers to tailor packing characteristics to the throughput and separation goals of a specific unit.
Material selection is a central consideration in the company's approach to raschig ring production. Wisconsin Stamping & Manufacturing produces rings from stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, copper, nickel, exotic alloys, and superalloys. This range gives customers the ability to match a packing material to the temperature, pressure, and chemical exposure conditions of their process, whether the priority is corrosion resistance, thermal stability, or cost control across a large fill volume.
According to the company, three benefits define the value of metal raschig rings in industrial settings. The first is comparatively low cost, made possible by the breadth of available metals and the ability to specify an economical alloy where process conditions permit. The second is durability, as metal rings can withstand caustic chemicals and extreme temperatures that would degrade other packing materials. The third is high capacity paired with strong separation efficiency, which allows facilities to process significant volumes while maintaining the quality of the separation.
"Raschig rings remain one of the most dependable forms of random packing available to process engineers, and the material really is what makes the difference," said David Renner, Director of Manufacturing at Wisconsin Stamping & Manufacturing. "When a customer tells us about the temperatures, the chemistry, and the throughput they are dealing with, we can point them toward the alloy that will hold up and perform the way they need it to over the long run."
The company also produces pall rings, a related packing product that features perforated windows around the perimeter of the ring. Those openings increase flow rates and reduce the fouling that can occur with standard raschig rings, giving engineers an additional option when a process calls for higher capacity or lower pressure drop. Offering both product types allows the company to support a broader set of separation and processing requirements from a single manufacturing source.
Wisconsin Stamping & Manufacturing operates from Germantown, Wisconsin, and brings nearly 70 years of metal manufacturing experience to its packing media work. The company recently acquired DJS Manufacturing as a subsidiary and partners with WorldSource Fasteners, additions that broaden its production capabilities and supply relationships. Its ISO 9001 certification reflects a documented quality management system that supports consistency across product lines.
"Our customers are running processes where reliability is not optional, so we take the same care with a packing component that we would with any critical part," Renner said. "The goal is always to deliver rings that arrive to specification and perform in the field."
Raschig rings continue to hold a foundational place in distillation, gas absorption, stripping, and related chemical processing operations, and the durability and material flexibility of metal packing keep it relevant for facilities operating under harsh conditions. Wisconsin Stamping & Manufacturing produces these components to support industries that depend on efficient and reliable mass transfer.

Danish company biosuite introduces biotech procurement software to track outsourced R&D commitments

Founded by a former biotech finance professional, biosuite helps smaller biotech teams track financial commitments to research partners before the corresponding invoices arrive.
COPENHAGEN, Denmark - Oct. 12, 2026 - PRLog -- Danish software company biosuite (biosuite.io) has introduced a procurement and spend management platform designed to help small and growing biotech companies track financial commitments to contract research organizations (CROs) and other external service providers.
For biotech finance teams, what has been invoiced may represent only part of what has already been committed. Research activities are often outsourced under contracts that span multiple milestones, amendments and payment schedules, and financial commitments can arise months or years before the corresponding invoices arrive. This makes it difficult to maintain an accurate overview of outstanding obligations.
The idea for biosuite came from founder Patrick Dirchsen's experience working in finance at an early-stage biotech company.
"Keeping track of what had been invoiced was one thing. Understanding what we had already committed to spend was often much harder," said Dirchsen. "Contracts, purchase orders and invoices were spread across different files and systems. I wanted to make that information easier to connect, especially for smaller biotech teams without dedicated procurement departments."
biosuite connects supplier contracts, change orders, purchase orders, approvals and invoices in one system, giving finance and operations teams visibility into committed spend, invoiced spend and remaining contract value.
Rather than replacing accounting systems, biosuite makes financial commitments under supplier contracts visible alongside recorded spending.
The platform is available to biotech companies in Europe and the United States. Biotech teams can watch a product demo at https://biosuite.io/demo.
