It’s all about collaboration. That’s the key difference in the way Urick produces ductile iron castings. Our engineers work closely with yours. Our staff metallurgists advise you on what properties are best suited for your products.

Putting our minds together allows for quicker design changes and, ultimately, better solutions. Our extensive experience in casting ductile iron — together with your expertise in the products you manufacture — make for a winning combination. The results are castings that outperform similar products made from other metals or by other metal-forming methods.

At Urick, we produce high-quality, medium-volume, low-cost parts. We do it faster, cheaper, stronger and easier. Exactly what you want from a supplier of ductile iron castings. As an ISO 9001:2008-certified company, Urick offers a real difference. One that makes your job easier and your products better.

Why Urick?

We specialize in collaborating with customers to produce complex castings that are used in critical applications. Plus, we do a lot of little things differently to make your job easier. Things like rapid prototyping, in-house testing and modifying the overall design as needed. We also offer an “a la carte” metal menu, so you can pick and choose the exact services you want.

Emerson ownership gives us the financial stability other suppliers simply don’t have. That’s why today’s Urick is a state-of-the-art Disamatic manufacturer providing ductile solutions for a variety of companies in a wide range of industries.
