LeClaire Manufacturing offers a unique combination of complex capabilities in both the foundry and cnc machining industries, providing a single-source supplier for aluminum casting solutions that proudly boast 100 percent made in the U.S.A.. Our engineering team assists with the design of your casting to help reduce future quality or delivery issues, and to help reduce weight and costs. Utilizing our in house mold flow solidification modeling, we will offer visual views of solidification results, risk areas, and solutions to mitigate. Our in-house pattern shop physically creates all of your tooling, offering short lead times for sand casting patterns, permanent mold dies, and CNC machine fixtures. Once the tooling is complete, these high end tools consistently provide quality aluminum sand castings or aluminum permanent mold castings, and then precision machine the castings to completion — truly a one-stop shop!

Successfully overcoming the toughest challenges, such as removing costs from large aluminum castings in both sand casting and permanent mold castings, successfully producing difficult castings other foundries previously failed on quality requirements for, and scaling volumes and solving puzzles on complex castings and core assemblies. We instinctively follow our customers’ demands, creating innovative paths to a superior end. Strategically, we know these roads well.
