If a referral is the highest compliment a customer can give a manufacturing partner, then we appreciate the compliment from Foster Manufacturing Co.
Kevin Holbrook, Engineering and Plant Manager, from Foster Manufacturing in Springfield, MO, has been ordering custom steel stamps from Durable Mecco since 2014.
Kevin says, "We have a new vendor, and I told them about Durable Mecco and the reliable service you’ve provided Foster over the years. I should say it more often…I truly appreciate you and your team at Durable Mecco! I can always count on you!"
Thank you for the kind words and the referral, Kevin!
Foster Manufacturing produces hydraulic and pneumatic quick disconnects at very high volumes so they need a direct part marking solution that holds up to some tough production conditions.
The main metals marked are C360 brass, 303 and 316 stainless, and 12L14 steel.
The Durable Mecco supplied steel stamps are used to mark a hex bar: one flat side is a part number, and the other flat side is marked with the Foster brand logo. The marking characters are between .070” and .090” tall.
Foster uses custom-built mechanical stamping machines that mark one quick disconnect part per second.
