Jim Kramer at Aker Kvaerner, a leading global provider of engineering and construction services, technology products and integrated solutions, of Williamsport, Pa came to buyCASTINGS back in December 2004 when none of their present suppliers of casting were able to meet a compressed delivery for a new set of stainless cast parts shown below. Within 2 days buyCASTINGS identified and provided quotes from MCM Precision of Weston, Ohio as the company who could meet their needs. Kvaerner needed 2 stainless steel castings for a boiler rebuild, but needed tooling and castings in 5 weeks.

Stainless castings for Kvaerner

Their present suppliers could only offer 10 and 16 weeks for delivery. "We were very pleased with the response of buyCASTINGS and MCM precision to help us at this time" said Jim Kramer.

MCM precision was able to have the automated investment casting tools built in about 10 days and preceded to make samples that were delivered in about 3 weeks. The production of the 3200 sets was complete in 5 weeks and the remaining 3300 sets in 2 additional weeks. "We would have never known about this opportunity without buyCASTINGS" stated Don Marion, owner of MCM precision.

MCM delivered the complete order in less time than it would have taken their present supplier to even start shipping the first parts. "buyCASTINGS provided us with options to help us meet our timeframe, we will use them again in the future" as summarized by Mr. Jim Kramer, another one of many satisfied casting buyers that come to buyCASTINGS!
