We are organized to purchase materials and services through buyers who specialize in the commodities required by the Structurals operations. Many are located in the centralized PCC Structurals purchasing office in Portland, Oregon. However, all manufacturing locations listed on this web site also have buyers on site.
Our buying requirements fall into four classes of materials and/or services.
- MRO – includes items used for maintenance, repair, and overhaul, as well as storeroom inventory and related services.
- Production Materials – includes chemicals, ceramic sands and flours,
wax, metals and alloys, X-ray film, etc., used in common by all plants.
- Capital Goods and Services – includes capital equipment, wax pattern tooling, jigs and fixtures, and related services.
- Outside Processing – includes the offloading of various production activities such as machining, heat treating, hot isostatic pressing, layout, X-ray, and chemical milling.
The materials we purchase in support of our programs are many and varied. The need for fresh approaches to maintain high quality and performance is very important. That is why we continually seek out qualified suppliers who can not only effectively support the design, development, and manufacture of our casting components, but who can also meet our quality and cost objectives.
