Northwest Casting, Inc. - Quality Aluminum Castings in Permanent Mold and Sand

Quality administration provides leadership and on-going training. Teams meet to talk about cost of quality measurements and engage in problem solving. Everyone’s focus is on prevention.

The total quality system is documented in a company quality assurance manual (view table of contents). The system begins when sales engineering works closely with a customer to define a job’s requirements. Next, our most experienced workers develop the production process and prove out gating. After that, recorded work instructions travel with the job all the way through the process and final inspection. In addition, sampling plans are utilized. At the end, customers may elect to receive final inspection paperwork. Inspection equipment is inventoried and calibrated according to established procedures.

There is a big difference in casting suppliers.

At one end, big multi-layered organizations boast impressive equipment lists and broad capabilities, but must support a correspondingly heavy overhead. At the other end, limited resources offset the nimble efficiency of tiny shops. Northwest Casting is a family-owned foundry positioned between these extremes.

Management firmly embraces the importance of meeting agreed-upon delivery commitments and providing trouble-free castings. Quality measurements monitor performance in both areas.

Our team of enthusiastic professionals imparts many years of process knowledge and problem-solving experience. You gain access to essential metalcasting information.
More value arises as a result of efforts to prolong tooling life. This is accomplished by careful operation and attentive maintenance of production tooling throughout the casting’s lifetime.
