American Castings

American castings produced by American foundries and casting companies lead the market for quality and quantity. Although China and Asia have more foundries, American foundries still are the industry leaders.

One of the reasons that castings from America are in such demand is the high quality of the metal castings produced by American companies. Additionally, customer service and the ability to meet production deadlines, contribute to the success of casting companies in America.

Although seeking cheaper, less-costly production overseas has drawn away many customers, it doesn’t take very long before they come back. They have quickly learned that saving a few cents in production can actually cost dollars when the product they get is inferior in quality. More and more of these companies are turning back to the tried and true, once again ordering American castings.

Shelmet Precision Castings is just one of those U.S. casting companies who have seen customers leave and then beg to return. Unfortunately, while those customers have been gone, their business has been replaced. Thus when their former American casting company has to turn them down, they will be searching for one that can take them on as a client.

So for manufacturing and design companies that use American foundries, think twice before you leave your foundry and head overseas. Remember the saying: “You get what you pay for”. Saving a little bit up front can actually cost you a lot in the long run.
