EXAMPLES OF OUR COMMITMENT TO CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

From Decoma/Polycon Industries General Manager:

…..Thanks to Southern Casting for excellent efforts in meeting tight timelines for the Chevrolet Corvette Fender Program. By meeting these aggressive timing commitments, Southern Casting has eliminated a supply risk for Polycon. This is a clear example of your organizations’ commitment to customer satisfaction….

 

From former General Motors Engineer:
…..I have worked with Southern Casting on several paint casting support programs and experienced excellent quality, cost, and timing. During preliminary design approval, we were able to simulate loading a part on the support casting.

During this solid model review, we were also able to review offsets, clearances, and specific design concerns. I was extremely pleased working with Southern Casting…..
