Testimonials
“Maynard,
Thank you (and the entire crew at Effort) for the tour and presentations. It was very thorough and informative. I appreciated the demonstrations and explanations provided by the employees in the shop—hopefully you guys have an employee appreciation day for a job well done! The school and tour showcased a company culture of not only meeting customer requirements but also taking pride in their work.”
With best regards, Bruce Miller, Dresser-Rand Company, Siemens Energy
“Presented Bill Easterly and his Team at Effort Foundry a Recognition Award today for his exceptional expertise instructing Emerson Mansfield engineers, quality assurance, and supply chain personnel during the Effort Foundry School held at our facility on August 25, 2022.

“Team,
Thank you so much for running the foundry school at Hunt Valve for the 3rd time. The feedback I have received from attendees is nothing but positive. Many employees did not realize all the “Effort” that goes into the casting process. I have extended an invite to my counterparts at NNS and EB to come to Effort for foundry school. I will let you know the feedback I receive shortly. I look forward to years of continued partnership with your company.”

“Your on time delivery performance has been excellent. Thank you and keep up the good work. Your response to requests for quotations has been excellent. Again nice going. Certifications are always provided in a timely manner and are traceable to castings. Nice going. Customer focus is excellent. Your assistance on weld repairs, even if the casting isn’t yours, is greatly appreciated. Also, the foundry schools are always well received. Thank you.”

“My experience with the technical, quality, and manufacturing aspects of Effort Foundry have been exceptionally good. Our communications are open, honest, straight forward, and direct. The Quality assurance packages are accurate and complete. Effort Foundry does a fine job of satisfying us with one-time castings cast in varying alloys from older drawings and with stringent NDE requirements. My experience working through issues has been very good. The company is honest, truthful, and desires a successful resolution. We have always come to an agreement, shook hands, and moved on.”
Matt McHale, Manufacturing Engineer, Siemens-Energy
“The people we deal with on a day to day basis (Maynard, Bill, Dan Kelley) are the reason we deal with your Company. All Outstanding!”
Jack Bosley, Vice President, Procurement and Planning, Derbyshire Machine & Tool
“For 20 years, Effort Foundry has been our supplier for casings, bearing housings and numerous other castings for various pump types. Their leadtimes and prices are good, but mainly we stay with them because they do a great job making castings for us and because the people are easy to work with. Their casting schools have also been a great help to the people here, giving us a better understanding of the process. No other vendor has taken the time to educate and partner with us that way.”
Senior Buyer, Flowserve
“Effort Foundry returned one of our more complex castings for pre-production verification—which I think is their standard practice—and they had a question. That enabled us to go to our hydraulic engineer for his advice, and he made the appropriate changes. Effort revised the casting, and talk about fast. They really are a great company.”
Contract administrator, custom-engineered pump company
“We had a critical delivery for several castings that were needed by the end of last year. We considered sourcing them from overseas, but the quoted leadtime was 23 weeks; Effort built a new pattern, cast samples, and produced the parts over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays in less than six weeks.”

“Bill and Heather,
Thank you so much for coming down and teaching the casting school last week. All the feedback I received was positive from the class. Everyone mentioned how helpful the visual presentation was in helping them understand the process of producing castings. I trust you both had safe trips home. Have a great week.
Thank you again,”
