Castings must not only function and perform well, but in many instances, must also "look good" exhibiting exceptional aesthetic qualities.

We utilize an oil-bonded green sand in our mold process to assure consistent mold compact-ability. This produces exceptional cast surface finishes. This oil-bonded sand process, known in the industry as "Petro Bond," produces surface finishes that are superior to many other processes.

Surface finishes produced with our foundry process have consistently satisfied our most demanding customer requirements. Superior surface finishes make Olson Aluminum an excellent choice for products such as:

In addition, our surface finish provides an excellent base for secondary processing such as powder coating, plating, anodizing, zinc plating or traditional wet painting.

It's true, you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but it is truly a bonus when the cover is as good as the story inside. We believe our castings should "look good" and function even better.
