Mike Swartzlander, Managing Director of CAST STRATEGIES LLC of Dublin Ohio has joined the Advisory Board of Marketing and Engineering Solutions (MES) Inc., of Lewis Center, Ohio. MES specializes in Low Cost Country Sourcing and Supply Chain Management for high value added castings, as well as sub-assemblies, forgings, rubber molded components, and metal fabrications. MES was recently named as one of Central Ohio’s Top 50 growth companies. Already a supplier to major OEM’s, as well as Tier I and II Suppliers, MES is actively seeking opportunities to partner with US-based foundries to supplement their product portfolios. According to Mr. Hiten Shah, President of MES, “OEM’s are increasingly interested in metal casting suppliers that can supplement their manufacturing capabilities with castings sourced from LCC’s.
MES is uniquely qualified to provide this requirement and to manage all aspects of the Supply Chain to assure flawless supply”. Mike Swartzlander, a long time participant in the metal castings market worldwide, adds, “MES has an excellent reputation with major OEM’s in supplying their smaller volume, higher value added casting requirements. MES couples highly qualified technical people on the ground in China, India, and elsewhere with extraordinary Supply Chain expertise to deliver high quality castings, on time and within budget. Having MES supplement a US metal caster’s portfolio is a viable way to add value in serving OEM’s. ”
Located in Dublin Ohio, Cast Strategies LLC provides consulting services on growth strategies to manufacturers in the metal castings, specialty chemicals, and composites parts markets.
