Quaker City Casting (QCC) vice president Geoff Korff has reported that the company has purchased a 51,000sq/ft building adjacent to its operation. It plans to reorganize its operations by relocating its secondary processes to the building, which will allow it to pursue a more specific expansion to its foundry operation.
QCC melts gray and ductile iron, carbon steel, stainless steel, and various specialty steel alloys and superalloys. Using centrifugal casting for smaller castings (up to 13 in OD), and sand casting (for large components, up to 12,000lb), it supplies cast parts for valve and pump manufacturing, power generation systems, heavy construction equipment production, gearmaking, and other markets.

The foundry will relocate its blasting, grinding, and welding processes there in the coming months, which will create an opening in the foundry building for a sand-reclamation operation. In its release QCC indicated it plans to expand some “casting processing operations” and quality control systems, too.
