Foundry
Organization Overview
PIAD Precision Casting Corporation started its United States operations in October 1967. The corporation started as a joint venture between the inventor of the chill mold process, Piel & Adey, and an American manufacturing company.
Current operations include a 54,000 square foot permanent mold foundry in Greensburg, PA and a 28,000 square foot machine shop in Latrobe, PA. PIAD defines its business as the manufacturing of “functional components” produced using the chill mold casting process.
PIAD’s ability to produce net shape castings made of pure copper, copper based and aluminum alloys often eliminates costly secondary operations and provides cost saving opportunities for its customers.
