Your Precision Machined Casting Partner

At Chapter 2 Inc., we specialize in transforming cast components into precisely machined parts that meet the most demanding OEM standards and specifications. We bridge the gap between the versatility of casting and the precision of machining to deliver high-quality, custom-engineered parts for your applications.

Our Promise to You:

We understand that behind every component is a production schedule, quality commitment, and ultimately your brand reputation. That’s why we approach each project with a proven standardized process that leads to results you can count on.

  • Supplier/Partner Approval: Each supplier is approved through an assessment process that validates technical capability and verifies a rigid quality management system is in place.
  • Design for Manufacturing Review: Our casting suppliers, along with our in-house technical team, will go through a design review process to verify the manufacturability of your product and to propose any opportunities for improvement that we may identify.
  • Sampling and Prototypes: Needing to approve a design concept prior to mass production? Chapter 2 and its casting partners have multiple options.  From prototypes machined from billet or cast samples made from lower cost tooling options such as 3D printed molds or machined urethan patterns, we have options that will work for you.
  • Part Approval and Quality Assurance: From one-piece first article inspections to PPAP’s including a full material analysis, multi-part layouts, capability studies and gage R&Rs, Chapter 2 and its supplier base have the resources to handle the strictest of requirements.
  • Production and Project Management: From materials planning, production control and outside service processing, Chapter 2’s project management team is here to tie it all together for a seamless ordering experience.
