For world-class fire equipment casting and foundry services, we have the skills and experience you need. Patriot Foundry & Castings is a leading nonferrous foundry that specializes in producing sand castings using bronze, zinc and aluminum alloys. Our firefighting industry customers are small-machine shops to worldwide leader in firefighting equipment. We take on projects from individual to thousands of parts, and currently cast packaging industry parts from a few ounces to over 240 pounds. These parts include, but are not limited to, tools, brackets, housings, frames, rollers, fittings, adapters, valves, switches, nozzles, elbows, connectors, and handles. We have a strict set of documented procedures, lean production methods, and energy efficiency protocols that allow us to deliver repeatable, consistent and cost-effective products to our firefighting customers.
Most of our castings utilized by the firefighting industry are cast from SR319, 356, A356, 535, C863, C865, ZA12, and ZA27 alloys.

Patriot is proud to be ISO 9001:2015 Certified.
Our firefighting industry casting services include:
Assembly analysis/casting integration: We work closely with our firefighting industry clients to determine where possibilities exist to shave costs. For example, we saved one customer 60% in production costs by determining that two castings and one piece could be cast as a single piece. Thanks to us, the company could recoup its tooling costs in less than two years.
Reverse engineering: Using 3D scanning, we can provide design analysis to replicate a part that’s been produced elsewhere. We’re also able to analyze chemical and metallographic characteristics to identify materials and post-production processes used. Once this is determined, we consult with the customer to develop an effective course of action to move to production.
Prototypes: Computer modeling has its place, but nothing beats an actual physical prototype. Prototypes help evaluate a manufacturing process and give a preview of how a part will look, feel and handle. At Patriot, we often produce fully functional prototypes, as well as non-working ones that are useful to present to potential investors, stakeholders and test market panels.
