AccuCast Technology, located in South Bend, Indiana, has been in continuous operation since 1874. The foundry, which has a solid reputation for high quality castings made to exact specifications has strategically positioned itself, under its new management, to be a “service foundry” by focusing on agility and responsiveness to meet the delivery and service expectations of today’s customers.
Its signature AccuFast service offers customers the benefit of standard 3 to 4 week lead-times, two-week shipments, if required, and three-day turn-around for emergencies. The program also caps production at 60% of total capacity to guarantee that customers will always have the ability to meet unexpected demand.
The foundry can melt a variety of metal types during a shift and make multiple pattern changes. It operates three 9-ton Induction furnaces and a new 10-ton Ajax Tocco furnace that became operational in March of 2006. It has a capacity of 40 tons per day and makes Ductile, Gray and White Iron castings that range from 100 to 2000 lbs, in lot sizes from 1 to 5000 pieces.
