The Challenge of Low-volume Casting Purchases

Finding a foundry to produce low volume castings is a challenge but Kirsh is the easy answer.

While you might envision a foundry that emphasizes short-run work would be a “mom and pop” shop, this is not the case at Kirsh.

We have a variety of molding lines to maximize flexibility and meet your requirements, regardless of volume. Three automatic molding lines handle low-, medium- and high-volume castings up to 56 lbs. All three lines are engineered with short set-up times to economically produce runs of any size. We pour all major grades of ductile and gray iron to meet your requirements. Our philosophy is to make our customers’ lives simpler by being your single-source for low- and high-volume requirements. This philosophy guided us to build a foundry uniquely equipped to meet the variety of castings you need.

In addition to molding options and alloy varieties, we house a complete state-of the-art pattern shop capable of building or adapting almost any tool to fit the foundry capabilities, resulting in maximum efficiency for the lowest possible cost to customers. By investing in an on-site pattern shop, we control pre-production tooling prep and sampling lead times to expedite tooling on your timeline.

Our foundry employs the latest equipment and our systems meet quality criteria on every casting produced, regardless of run size. Our Odyssey ERP system retains complete control over all operations necessary to produce an individual casting, from scheduling to inventory, scrap, maintenance and cost estimating.

Operators have complete work instructions readily available in both written and visual format to process castings according to each customer’s quality requirements. And real-time data collection means critical production and quality information are available to track progress of each production run — large or small — ensuring successful completion and on-time delivery.

Kirsh Foundry is ISO 9001 certified and holds quality certifications from major manufacturers. Even if you’re not a Fortune 500 manufacturer, you benefit from their quality demands. With all these capabilities, Kirsh is the best choice to manufacture both your production castings and low-volume castings. Our customers appreciate Kirsh can bundle most casting needs and significantly simplify their workload.
