Brinnell hardness testing is performed on castings as needed. All alloys, both ferrous and non ferrous can be certified if requested.


Buck has adopted Lean Manufacturing


and TPM (Total Preventive Maintenance) as a way to efficiently process castings once they are molded. The Team Approach, which is highly valued at Buck, is used during the completion of Value Stream Maps, through the Kaizen Process and the development of Standard Work. Buck’s commitment and dedication to Continuous Improvement is second to none. For a complete, turn-key product, Buck


offers machining, painting, plating, and galvanizing services performed by affiliated vendors. In producing parts up to 100 lbs, Buck’s quality department makes sure castings that leave its Quarryville, PA location are to the customer’s criteria. For a company looking to purchase quality castings, competitively priced, with superior service, there really is no question that the 62 year old Buck Company is the foundry to call on.
