High Ambitions in North America

The North American foundry market has gone through a major wave of consolidation in the past decade, shaping the industry quite differently from what it used to be. Many foundries have closed, while others have been acquired and consolidated by investment funds.

The result is that most of the foundries that are currently operating in North America are focused on high-volume simple parts. We firmly believe that Poclain Technicast can bring attractive value propositions to the industrial companies that are using highly cored cast parts, raw or machined in low to mid volumes.

In parallel, we also felt that Poclain Technicast needed to increase customer intimacy and presence with our existing North American customers in order to continuously improve our support and service to them.

Therefore we have decided to set up a local North American Sales office in Poclain's Yorkville - Wisconsin facility. This person will be the main Poclain Technicast business contact for North America.
