With quick lead times, on-time delivery, true just-in-time manufacturing, and unrivaled process control, Signicast has quickly become the top choice for OEM components in a large range of markets.

The result is true Just-In-Time manufacturing which eliminates costly inventory by allowing customers to receive small quantities of product, delivered frequently, according to their production schedule. Orders, even small ones, go from entry to shipping with no interruptions. Signicast operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week and schedules remain on-time. Signicast offers the best total value option for Complete-to-Print components. Signicast provides secondary operations such as machining, heat treatment, assembly, painting, finishing and packaging. The result is a high quality, high value product that is ready to ship from Signicast docks in as few as 4.3 days from start to finish.Early supplier involvement allows Signicast’s in-house technical staff to provide concurrent engineering during the formative stage of product design. Signicast’s engineering team is dedicated to providing customers with a design that will result in the lowest overall cost with design for manufacturability.
