buyCASTINGS has doubled revenue three times in the past four years NOT because of the global growth but primarily because of the orders for our foundries right here in the USA! "…WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT IT?"

Everyone thought that the internet would allow us take casting orders to China and India and Brazil…NOT REALLY TRUE. Yes, the internet made it easier for someone to shop, search, and procure but ultimately where people buy is where they find value, quality, and human service (like people who can speak in English…simple STUFF like that.)

While the media talks about the FINANCIAL CRISIS, THE CREDIT CRUNCH, THE VOLATILE MARKETS, AND THE MORTGAGE MELT DOWN, our foundries are seeing some of the strongest growth and order stream in 10-years. Yes, we are affected by the crazy metal prices, and the cost of energy going through the roof BUT the demand for castings in the niche markets that we serve is as high as or higher than ever in history. We do almost everything except automotive stuff…we stayed away from that from day one. We choose to work with buyers that understand what's good for them is also good for the supplier - a profitable relationship. We also innovate, create, and add value with respect to quality, cost, and quick turn around and follow through!!

At buyCASTINGS, we do not make any cold calls…the vast majority of our buyers come from word of mouth. Yes, we are one of the dot coms that survived but we have never relied on the internet or on our website alone for leads or business or customers or orders. We realized very early on in the dot com mania that it was NOT about B2B (Business to Business e-commerce, as people used to refer to us) INSTEAD IT WAS ABOUT P2P (PEOPLE TO PEOPLE.) The internet was and is just a tool to make life easier…no different than the fax machine, cell phone, or computer.
