In order to accomodate the growth in staff as well as to allow us to have our own manufacturing capability, buyCASTINGS is looking to expand from it’s current location in Research Park in Kettering, Ohio to a larger manufacturing facility in Dayton area. After almost eight months of search, several candidate sites were selected for negotiations. The Miamisburg site made one of the top spots for detail negotiations. The details are still being worked out as we look forward to our expansion.

The new facility will allow buyCASTINGS to accomdate the new program for the Army called Tactical Fabrication or the TacFab program. TacFab is a mobile foundry project which we have covered in detail in newsletter 18. The Miamisbury facility will also allow buyCASTINGS to scale up production for the FOPAT technology, a new pattern material for the investment casting industry. FOPAT will require capital investment and create manufacturing jobs. FOPAT has also been covered in detail in newsletter 15.

This facility will expand our corporate headquarter offices, give us manufacturing shop floor and offices, and provide for future home of our new spin off ompany called FOPAT Production Inc. The TacFab Technology Demonstration Facility will be also housed in the buyCASTINGS new building along with the technology management offices and all the equipment needed for the Army program. A quick turn around capability for parts production will be a major boost for the Army as well as for future disaster relief efforts.

Call us to visit... We look forward to it! (1-866-buyCAST)
