Foundry (Palmer, Massachusetts) has been supplying them to the high-tech indus- try—and others like it—for more than 25 years. So, it is no surprise the metalcaster has committed to thinking and operating like its data-driven customers. Palmer Foundry supplies vacuum-tight aluminum castings that are used in all processes tied to producing semiconductor technology, which is the foundation for the computing world. It ships its large castings (up to 1,300 lbs. shipped weight) to the Midwest, West Coast, China and Singapore weekly. And while the semiconductor industry is its biggest market, the metalcasting facility also produces performance aluminum components for mass spectrom- eters, slaughterhouse equipment, blood analysis equipment, and MRI equipment as well DV LQGXVWULDO SURGXFWV 7KH FRPSDQ\ VWLOO SURGXFHV FDVWLQJV IRU RQH RI LWV ÀUVW FXVWRPHUV IURP when the company was founded in 1951.
