The value-added concept of combining castings with in-house machining results in cost savings and a higher quality product for our customers. We take the responsibility for machining our own castings and enable our customers to save time and expense from shipping products from one supplier the next. As your “single source” foundry, we have the experience and capabilities to provide great service for our customers.

History

The company started as a small brass and aluminum foundry and refinery prior to WWII and grew to incorporate steel and iron castings during the 1960’s with the installation of Induction furnaces. During that time the company started a machine shop to provide finished products to our customers. We were early pioneers in the use of induction furnaces and no-bake molding.

Heat treating furnaces and a metallurgical laboratory with spectrochemical analysis of our materials were added to provide extensive foundry services. In 1976 the company moved to its present location and has expanded to an 85,000 sq ft foundry and 27,000 sq ft machine shop in addition to a pattern shop and warehouse.
