China Connection

As part of its commitment to offer customers the most competitive prices, Lestercast has established a successful working "partnership" with an investment casting foundry in China that manufactures quality investment castings at very competitive rates. Using up-to-date communications technology, Lestercast is able to process and monitor customer orders with its Chinese partner, and ensure deliveries meet scheduled targets. Rigorous quality controls are applied to all imported castings to ensure they meet the same high standards as Lestercast's own manufactured products. In addition, the company is able to hold stock on site in the UK, if required, and offer scheduled deliveries.

Over the past few years, Lestercast has successfully supplied numerous parts to its customers through this arrangement, combining the benefits of low pricing from the Far East with the advantage of stringent quality controls from an experienced investment caster, without the complexities of dealing direct.
