Investment casting is an industrial process, which employs in-process control at every step.
Highly refined on-line process control methods are backed up with laboratory testing. Every casting shipped can be relied upon to meet or exceed the designer's performance specification.

They have established a safety and health program adapted to fundamental safety concepts that will help them prevent injury and time loss.
