Charter Casting offers the combined power of DuraBar, the world’s largest producer of continuous cast iron bar stock, and our large complex iron casting capabilities, formerly Aarrowcast, which produce gray and ductile iron castings from 250 to 2,000 lbs.

One of the most overlooked advantages of green sand casting: the mold can be used again.

While chemically bonded systems consume their binder with each cycle, green sand mold media is reclaimed and reused, reducing material waste, lowering per-unit cost, and making high-volume production genuinely more sustainable.

At Charter Casting's scale, that efficiency compounds.

The strongest products start with the right material.

For 50 years, manufacturers have turned to DuraBar when performance, consistency, and reliability matter most.

From agriculture and heavy equipment to industrial machinery and infrastructure, DuraBar helps engineers solve challenges before they become problems.

It's not just about meeting specifications.

It's about delivering confidence in every application.

Fifty years of helping customers build stronger from the start.

The most expensive mistake in manufacturing is the one that doesn't show up until you're deep into production.

Charter Casting's engineering team has helped customers avoid scrap runs, costly redesigns, and quality escapes, not by reacting to problems, but by engineering around them before they happen.

That's what early collaboration looks like in practice.

When your volumes ramp up, your casting partner has to be ready to grow with you.

Charter Casting doesn't need to prove it can scale. We already have the infrastructure, the molding capacity, and the operational team in place, so when your program accelerates, we accelerate with you.

No new builds. No long onboarding. No risk.

Just production, on your timeline.

On-time delivery isn't a bonus. It's the baseline.

When your production line depends on a casting arriving on schedule, 'close' doesn't count. And when that part has to cross an ocean first, unpredictability becomes a built-in cost.

At Charter Casting, reliability is part of the product. Our customers don't just get a casting, they get a partner who shows up.

When procurement teams go looking for a domestic source for large, complex iron castings, they keep arriving at the same place.

Charter Casting.

It's not luck. It's the result of decades of investment in the people, processes, and equipment that make large-scale, highly engineered castings possible at volume.

In a market where overseas options are increasingly unpredictable, the ability to deliver complex iron domestically, on time, at spec, is rare.

We don't just fill the gap. We own it.

For decades, steel has been the default answer for high-strength applications.

ADI is changing that calculation.

Comparable or superior tensile strength. 10–12% lower density. Lower manufacturing cost. Near-net casting shape, less raw material, less machining, less energy.

Charter Casting's Advanced Ductile Iron Solutions are designed for engineers who want to know what's actually possible.

Two proven casting processes. Very different strengths.

Green sand excels at high production volume, large part size, and cost efficiency, making it the natural choice for the large, complex iron castings Charter Casting specializes in.

No-bake (chemically bonded) processes offer tighter dimensional accuracy and superior surface finish, advantages that matter most for smaller, more intricate geometries.

Knowing which process fits your application is an engineering decision, and it's one we help our customers make every day.

The best casting isn't always the one you asked for.

Sometimes it's the one our engineers helped you design before you finalized the spec.

At Charter Casting, we get involved early, asking questions about load paths, material selection, geometry, and production goals, because that's where the real value is created.

Before the first pour. Before the tooling is cut.

The strongest partnerships are built on consistency. Following another recent supplier audit, our Shawano facility achieved a performance level that ranks among the top 5% of foundries evaluated worldwide by a leading global off-highway equipment manufacturer.

Recognition like this isn't earned in a single week of preparation. It's the result of building and strengthening quality systems that drive standardized processes, clear expectations, and consistent ex*****on throughout the organization. When quality becomes part of every process and every role, outstanding audit results become the natural outcome rather than the objective.

For our customers, this means confidence that every casting is produced through disciplined, repeatable processes focused on preventing defects, reducing variation, and continually improving performance. The audit simply validated the systems and culture our team demonstrates every day.

We're incredibly proud of the Shawano team for demonstrating the standard of excellence our customers rely on every day.
