February 2006 - Kitchener, Ontario
Astech Alloy Steel Technology, a leading steel jobbing foundry with the unique capacity for short and long casting runs tailored to meet custom requirements, contracted Brock Solutions in July 2005 to design, build, and commission a new matchplate molding machine to produce a 16x20 mold size.
As John Cederstrom, President of Astech Alloy commented at the time: “We chose Brock Solutions to supply our matchplate mold machine, as they were the only manufacturer that could competitively supply a 16 x 20 mold size with the ability to face both cope and drag halves, which in our case, is a must. I gained confidence in Brock’s ability to earn our business after visiting several installations where I learned that their machines were designed by foundrymen as well as machine builders.”
In January 2006 Brock delivered the new mold machine, assuring that Astech is well positioned to further build on its reputation for providing high-quality custom castings on the global scale.
