Buck Company

In 1951 Dixon Valve Corporation purchased a small ferrous foundry located in scenic Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Buck Iron, as it was then known produced only malleable iron until 1953 when a non ferrous foundry was added enabling the production of brass, bronze and aluminum marine hardware castings.

During the 1950's and 60's Buck Iron grew and added additional space for molding, core making and cleaning. Along the way its reputation as a quality supplier grew as well. In 1970 a new gray and ductile foundry was completed featuring an eight station pallet line. In 1972 Buck Iron incorporated and changed it's name to Buck Company. As the decade drew to a close, Buck Company added a second molding line and a B&P automatic molding machine in 1979.

The 1980's began by adding three additional B&P molding machines and a 22,000 sq. ft. core room that linked the old and new foundry buildings. In 1987 the first Hunter 10 automatic molding machine was installed in the gray and ductile foundry, and in 1989 a Hunter 10 automatic molding machine was added to the same division.

As Buck Company entered the 1990's it continued to advance as an industry leader in foundry casting technology. New Hunter and Laempe molding and core machines were installed, enabling increased core casting production. The foundry also adopted continuous improvement processes to further employee training. In 1999 Buck Company was certified ISO 9001:2000 compliant. In 2009 Buck Company was recertified as ISO 9001:2008 compliant.

After 60 years in business, Buck Company remains dedicated to fostering an environment of employee teamwork and a reputation for quality castings while continually striving to be number 1 in total customer satisfaction.
