In recent years, challenges in global supply chains have created a powerful push to rebuild American manufacturing. From shipping delays and quality inconsistencies to geopolitical tensions, many U.S. companies are rethinking their reliance on offshore suppliers.

At the center of this reshoring movement is Quaker City Castings, a U.S. foundry dedicated to producing American made castings in steel, iron, and nickel alloys. Our mission is to keep domestic industries strong, reliable, and competitive.

  • Faster turnaround times
  • Better communication and collaboration
  • Tighter quality control
  • Compliance with U.S. certifications and standards
