Tony Buckland

With over 40 years of hands-on experience in Manufacturing and Sourcing investment, sand, and die casting. My 40 years experience serving as Foundry Metallurgist/Quality Manager/Methods Engineer to Company owner M.D of one of the largest investment foundries in the UK gives me a unique insight into the casting industry and the challenges faced by UK buyers. I have extensive experience working with Asian suppliers, particularly in China, and have built strong relationships with trusted foundries across the Asian region. I assist UK companies to source high-quality cast components from trusted suppliers across Asia.

I act as your independent technical expert and intermediary, resolving any technical issues with your incumbent supplier or re-source existing product to an approved supplier.
