Why Your Current Supplier May Be Holding You Back
Even the most seasoned purchasing teams encounter the same three barriers when sourcing aluminum investment castings:
- Excessive Pricing: Average unit cost is up to 35 % higher than Chinese‑based foundries with comparable quality.
- Inconsistent Quality: Surface defects and dimensional tolerances beyond ±0.2 mm lead to re‑work and production delays.
- Long Lead Times: Traditional suppliers quote 45‑90 days, causing inventory excess or stock‑outs.
Imagine a 10 % production slowdown costing your operation $250,000 per quarter—just because the casting supplier couldn’t meet specs on time.
