USC Castings enters partnership with Magotteaux

“USC Castings was built on the reputation of reliable delivery and consistent wear part performance for manganese castings,” says the company’s Barry Sheppard. “We have been searching for some time for a cost-effective, high-value, DHT shredder hammers. In Magotteaux we have found a partner who can not only deliver the performance we require for our customers, but also the reliable supply that’s critical for on-time delivery.”

“Magotteaux is thrilled to have entered into this agreement with USC Castings,” says Alan Greer, general manager at Magotteaux for Canada, Mexico and the U.S. “As a global leader in high-abrasion wear parts production, we’re committed to providing the best possible customer support. A partner like USC Castings, who has such deep and intimate knowledge of the metal shredding business, ensures we’ll fulfill that commitment for customers in the scrap recycling industry.”

The agreement extends beyond DHT hammers to other shredder wear parts where uniform alloy chemistries have been formulated to provide long life and superior shredder production. Spider caps, end disc caps, anvils, entry liners and pin protectors all have become part of USC Castings’ alloy offerings.

It maintains supply warehouses in Illinois and Tennessee and employs a global sourcing network designed to supply the right casting for the right application with consistent on-time delivery.
