Development of alloys for specific market needs allows the company to compete on the global market with limited competition.
Facilities The Hanford Foundry is housed in an 18,000 square foot manufacturing park.
The facility currently houses the foundry and associated finishing equipment, tool storage facilities, a small maintenance department, quality assurance department with surface plates, hand measuring equipment, file storage and offices for engineering and production control.

Equipment Company equipment consists of tilt machines for perm mold casting, five melt furnaces all gas fired, low volume heat treat capability, grinders, sanders and band saw for finishing as well as limited sand casting capability for prototype use. All of their alloy is degassed via our Dynarad auto degassing unit using nitrogen. All batches or melts are 100% tested for out-gassing and spectrographic samples are taken and inventoried for analysis by their outside test lab located in Fresno, California 30 minutes from THRR`s facility.
THRR also has the equipment necessary to produce metal matrix composite alloy on site. The equipment is setup in the Composite Manufacturing Department with a dedicated 1,000 pound furnace and a proprietary piece of equipment; the fluid bed injection system wets the ceramic while injecting it into the molten alloy under controlled conditions.
Location Thresher Industries is headquartered in Hanford, California, midway between Los Angeles and the Bay Area in the heart of the vibrant San Joaquin Valley. With its eighteen thousand square foot manufacturing facility located in the middle of the Kings County Enterprise Zone, the company enjoys the advantages of a moderate climate, excellent local government support, and programs designed to enhance Kings County`s business environment.
Specifically, Thresher Industries is located within a state enterprise zone, a recycling market development zone, a foreign trade zone, and an SBA HUB Zone for contract preferences.

In addition to these programs, Kings County is served by two outstanding community colleges, West Hills College and College of the Sequoias, which provide contract and for-credit vocational training to local business employees.
Materials Direct Metal Induction Cast Process is a proprietary method of producing a high strength cast aluminum component. When used with our Nautilus Core Process we can provide a casting that is engineered by the customer, limited to the engineer`s imagination not the restrictions imposed by conventional casting technology. Thresher Industries allows the engineer to design a lightweight, high strength cost effective component or assembly without limits.
Case Study:
A three piece welded aluminum microwave housing manufactured using welded components. Critical alignment was compromised during the welding process resulting in high scrap rates and customer dissatisfaction. This assembly was costly and caused customer delivery issues. Redesigned as a one piece cast aluminum housing using the DMIC Process and our Nautilus Core reduced initial cost by 80% and scrap related issues by 100%.
Automotive applications:
Waterpumps Torque boxes for unit body vehicles, reduced weight/cost Engine cradles, reduced NVH, weight and cost FEAD brackets, reduced NVH, weight a
nd cost Diesel engine components, reduced NVH and weight Instrument panel sub-frames, reduced weight, NVH and cost compared to magnesium Suspension components, reduced weight, increased strength Thresher Industries Inc.
