Shortened Lead-Times

The steel casting industry has certainly seen its share of ups and downs over the last decade. The last couple of years have been good to an industry so vital to our nations growth and security.

As the economy has strengthened, the need for a dependable, domestic casting source has become vital to the success of so many businesses. You have all seen foundry capacity become a very valuable and scarce commodity and you’ve watched as lead-times for your castings have stretched longer and longer. This is forcing many of you to forecast farther than you are comfortable with.

Like so many of our fellow foundries, Eagle Alloy has been fortunate enough to realize substantial growth in existing casting volume and new customers. Our dedication to our customers is attracting more and more companies seeking the types of services we reliably provide. We remain among the strongest and largest Shell-mold steel foundries in the country and our 6-week lead-time for rough castings is among the shortest in the industry. Our “secret” is our success in streamlining our processes and reducing the throughput of your castings, even during the busiest of times.

Therefore, I am pleased to announce reduced lead-times! Our efforts to become leaner and to work smarter have resulted in our ability to process your rough casting order in 5 weeks or less effective immediately! Lead times for machined castings remain at 8 weeks.

We’re proud of our success but we’re even more excited about the advantage this gives to our customers in the forms of faster acquisition of product and reduced inventories.

Any of our sales or customer service representatives would be happy to discuss this further with you if you wish. Please never hesitate to contact us.
