METAL CASTING BUSINESS PLAN

I. Executive Summary

Company Description

Precision Forgeworks — named to reflect exacting tolerance and industrial heritage — is a U.S.-based metal foundry launching operations in 2026 that serves aerospace, automotive, defense, and medical device manufacturers. We operate in the advanced manufacturing sector and produce custom, high-precision cast components from digital designs. Our core products are small-to-medium high-integrity castings and turnkey assemblies where tight tolerances, traceable material certifications, and complex geometries are required. One-liner: we turn difficult digital designs into repeatable, certified metal parts.

We run rapid prototyping through high-volume production on-site using state-of-the-art molding, melting, and inspection equipment and a skilled technical team. Key differentiators are in-house metallurgy lab, digital process controls, and documented quality systems that meet rigorous engineering standards. Target customers are OEM engineers and procurement leads at tier-1 suppliers and system integrators in regulated industries. Short-term goal: validate processes with three launch customers by Q4 2026. Long-term goal: reach $18M annual revenue and multi-shift capacity for 24/7 production by 2029. One-liner: our roadmap ties certified process capability to predictable scale and revenue.

Problem

Manufacturers in aerospace and automotive face severe supply chain vulnerabilities caused by a lack of specialized high-strength metal casting equipment.

Current options produce high costs and long lead times, and engineering teams lack in-house expertise to cast complex parts to spec. Consequences include production delays, higher inventory and working capital, forced design compromises, supplier concentration, and certification risks that disrupt assembly schedules.

There is a clear unmet need for reliable domestic, on-demand casting that supports rapid prototyping through high-volume runs; our U.S. facility, launching in 2026, is designed to fill that gap by delivering precision cast components for aerospace, automotive, defense, and medical device programs.

Solution

We provide on-demand metal casting that converts CAD designs into precision, ready-to-install parts for aluminum, steel, and titanium. This turnkey service includes mold creation, casting, CNC finishing, and metallurgical validation to serve R&D prototypes and low-volume procurement needs.

We act as a manufacturing extension for R&D and procurement teams, shortening lead times, supplying parts to tight engineering specs, and reducing reliance on long‑lead, low‑capacity foundries in critical U.S. sectors like aerospace and defense.

Mission Statement

We empower U.S. manufacturers by delivering the highest level of precision and reliability in metal casting. We transform complex engineering challenges into durable, high-performance components for the aerospace, automotive, and medical sectors through innovation and technical excellence. We foster domestic manufacturing resilience with state-of-the-art technology and an unwavering dedication to quality, striving to be the preferred manufacturing partner for critical industries.

Key Success Factors

Success depends on rapid breakeven, high-margin parts, skilled staff, strategic location, and AS9100-ready quality.

• 20.11% Return on Equity driven by efficient production of high-margin Turbine Blades and Pump Housings.
• 2-month breakeven delivering early operational stability and investor confidence.
• Skilled workforce anchored by Lead Foundry Engineers and Quality Control Specialists.
• Strategic U.S. industrial hub location lowering shipping costs and enabling Tier 1 collaboration.
• AS9100-ready processes and rigorous testing ensuring compliance with aerospace and automotive standards.
