Capabilities
Value Offered
We produce castings from 22 pounds up to 2.5 tons. We also offer value-added services including, but not limited to, assembly, branding, and packaging. Our facilities cover over 800,000 square feet of manufacturing space equally divided between our foundry and our machine shop. We employee 750 highly trained people to deliver your high-quality castings and other value-added products.
A One Stop Solution
We offer one-stop for cast and ductile iron part development including our expert R&D engineering department, pattern and tool design and in-house pattern manufacturing, casting and machining processes, cleaning/painting/packaging, and export/logistics services. All of this in-house capability never leaves us at the mercy of partner suppliers, gives us control over time-lines, and gives us ultimate responsibility for every step of manufacturing your castings.
Foundry Lines
Our two separate foundry lines (Green Sand and Resin Sand Processes) allow for ultimate flexibility in producing small and very large castings. Our flask sizes are 50” X 36” X 32” up to 95” X 95” X 58” with capabilities to pour one part or multiple parts per flask for efficient and economical use of the sand (a cost driver in the casting process).
Rapid Abilities
GBS boasts more than 160 CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines and 7 high precision CMM (Coordinate Measurement Machines) to ensure on-time and high quality cast and ductile iron products. These machines include flexible machining centers with fixtures and tools to allow rapid setup for our customers’ crisis parts needs. Because of these investments and the associated efficiencies, we are able to be very cost-competitive and able to ship quickly.
GBS also offers expert assembly and sub-assembly services including assembly pressure testing, cleaning, branding, and final packaging for delivery to your end customers.
We offer North American and European warehousing of component inventory as well as Kan-Ban and safety stock services in our Qingdao, China facilities. Many of our customers enjoy the ability to rely on rapid availability of their critical components.
