Quality

While many factors contribute to the quality of steel, experience and commitment are the most important. Kisco Castings is well-known for attention to detail with continued commitment to quality both in process and product. Our facilities have been awarded ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management System certification.

We at Kisco believe in the principles that forge way for some of the best manufacturing facilities in the world. Since 1993 we have adhered to some basic principles,

  1. Customer first, then the employee and then the shareholders but generating value for everyone. Long term philosophy is emphasized over short terms financial gains.

  2. Continuous process improvement – It is done by having close control on the process parameters like temperature, time, composition, degassing etc.

  3. Standardized tasks from production to administration are to promote continuous improvement and empower employees to learn better and faster.

  4. Flat and transparent management structure, the senior management sees things for themselves; hence have more than just a superficial understanding of situations.

Kisco Castings tradition demands perfection in every phase of production - whether it is production of forged alloy steel bars, forgings, SG iron castings, rolled alloy steel bars or other steel products. We manufacture from a variety of grades as per specific process and composition requirements. This requires expertise with close supervision on the process flow. To assure quality, we perform tests and checks at every stage possible, from molding to material dispatch.

Kisco Castings has always maintained the belief that the end product is very much dependent on the raw materials that goes into our steel making. Using only certified and tested raw material has always been a practice at Kisco Castings. For this sole purpose Kisco Castings and its directors have established a new venture, Kisco Global LLC, in US with its vision of being a consistent supplier of quality raw material.
