Our dedication to market-leading quality is based on four key factors:

A tier 1 supplier can offer a level of quality in its products and customer service that other market participants simply can’t match.
Supply Chain Management
One of the most impactful benefits of working with a tier 1 supplier is the ability to procure fully customized, painted, and assembled machine components from a single relationship.
At Prospect Foundry, we have operational partnerships with highly-qualified painting and machining suppliers, so we can deliver fully finished and certified components ready to be added directly to your production line.
Because the casting process is generally the most intensive part of the supply chain, with the slimmest margin for error, working with Prospect Foundry as your supplier will help ensure your components are expertly crafted with a critical focus on casting quality.
