About Us
There’s no question that a global company with regionalized manufacturing capability presents great opportunities for low-cost manufacturing, expanded production capacity and regional supply.
But for all the companies jumping into the global-supply game, few have the refined processes, the technically competent infrastructure and—most importantly—the locally experienced people it takes to overcome the inherent challenges of working with manufacturers and customers on an international basis. They can’t ensure product quality and they can’t guarantee delivery.
At Meterra, we recognized the shortcomings of conventional global-supply companies, and we set out to build a stronger and more effective operation.
It all starts with people. We developed talented personnel who understand the culture and speak the language in our global locations. Our team is instrumental in establishing our manufacturing capabilities around the world. They’ve led the implementations of efficient process methodologies including Six Sigma at all our partner plants. They’ve played a critical role in developing an advanced logistics infrastructure with cutting-edge communications capability. And they’ve helped us employ state-of-the-art NPI, QA and Global Program Management processes, bringing our domestic and global teams together for well-coordinated projects with single-source accountability.
In addition to our people in China, India, the United Kingdom, the United States and many other locations, who manage our in-country manufacturing capabilities, Meterra employs top casting experts at each of our specialized manufacturing companies … Waukesha Foundry, Sivyer Steel and Riverside Products. Our people are also organized worldwide to address the needs of seven core markets.
Today, all the work we’ve done creating a more powerful global-supply operation gives us the versatility, capacity and expertise that our clients simply can’t get from conventional providers. From highly sophisticated to high-volume parts and components to sub-modules, we have the power to offer the lowest possible cost and guarantee delivery of every cast component we provide.
This is all made possible by the extraordinarily talented people we have on the ground in all locations. They’re the most important reason we can cast beyond convention—and meet our clients’ most challenging casting needs … around the globe. |
