buyCASTINGS.com, Inc. Makes the 2009 List of Inc. 500 Fastest Growing Private Companies in the US—Second Year in a Row

DAYTON, OH (August 21, 2009) – buyCASTINGS.com, Inc. has experienced rapid growth over the last four years, filling a niche by doing the right thing for buyers in the metal castings market—by bringing them choice, convenience and competitive costs. Despite pressures on the economy, buyCASTINGS has expanded its client base and sales revenue by providing an effective marketplace for castings and by providing technical casting solutions to demanding customer applications. In 2009, Inc. magazine has, for the second year in a row, recognized buyCASTINGS as one of the top 500 fastest growing private companies in America.

“While most of buyCASTINGS’ growth has been organic, it has also started to look for strategic acquisitions and teaming to fuel continued revenue growth,” says Neil Chaudhry, COO of buyCASTINGS.

In order to accommodate their growth in staff and add manufacturing capability to their operation, buyCASTINGS expanded to a 14,000 sq. ft. facility in Miamisburg, OH. Housed there is a TacFab Technology Demonstration Facility for the Army, a mobile foundry that will provide quick turnaround capability for cast metal parts. buyCASTINGS also continues to spin-off companies, the latest one being FPI or FOPAT Production Inc. (www.FOPAT.com), which is commercializing a proprietary foam pattern material that saves money and improves performance for the investment casting industry.

buyCASTINGS.com was launched in 2000 as an independent business-to-business (B2B) e-marketplace where buyers/designers, foundries and suppliers to the metal casting industry come together as a community to take advantage of the efficiencies of e-commerce. buyCASTINGS has now become an expert source for all metal castings.
