Starting in 1961, Shellcast founder Gerry Krause began to supply small to medium sized investment castings to the commercial and aerospace marketplace. Sadly, Gerry passed away in November of 2010 after a lengthy illness.

In July of 2011 the assets of Shellcast were purchased from Gerry’s estate by the company’s senior managers with company President Bob Johnson assuming sole ownership of the operation in early 2013.

Bob brings significant experience in the production of critical components for commercial, aerospace, and military applications. The company is committed to continuing on the path of success that Shellcast has enjoyed for over 53 years.

Shellcast has earned a reputation of high quality and responsiveness. We consistently demonstrate the ability to deliver castings before some competitors can respond to quotations.
