ABOUT MAGNOLIA

We currently serve a diverse variety of customers, with a variety of standard and non-standard alloys available to perfectly fit any customer’s needs, large or small.

Built on quality and customer service, Magnolia ships world-wide. Our foundry and machine shop are located in Auburn, Nebraska, with a sales and accounting office in Omaha. As OSHA and EPA restrictions concerning lead have intensified, we have met the challenge by investing in the foundry to continue to produce leaded alloys & by developing a bearing alloy that does not contain lead.

What we do

Who We Serve

Distributors are primarily copper and brass warehouses, bearing houses, and general industrial supply companies. Direct customers are found in all segments of heavy industry, with a large concentration in pumps, compressors, oil refining, crushers, steel mills, and most large, slowly rotating equipment.

Supporting Other Bronze Producers

One of Magnolia’s largest customer groups is other bronze producers who purchase bronze we can supply more cost effectively than they produce, or leaded alloys they no longer can or will cast in light of more stringent OSHA regulations that became effective July 1996.

Continuous Cast Bronze Capabilities and Inventory

Continuous cast bronze is produced on one of three vertical units in diameters up to 12 1/2 inches and in several alloys. Bars are cast in over 300 standard sizes, in special shapes and sizes, and in stock lengths of 105 inches or up to 144 inches, with nominal sizes providing enough overage to permit finishing to listed dimensions. These bars are sold with a 100 dollar minimum order charge, and an inventory of over 2,000,000 pounds permits same day or next day shipment from stock.

Centrifugal Cast Blanks and Semi Finished Options

Blanks up to 34 inches OD are centrifugally cast in slowly rotated steel molds and can be machined to require merely a final finished cut at the customer’s installation site. This semi finishing step can also be performed on continuous cast bars to provide a customer with a part one step away from use, and purchasing a semi machined flanged part is often less expensive than buying a cylinder and rough machining it in house.

CNC Machining for Completely Finished Parts

Completely finished parts made to the customer’s blueprint and specifications can be machined in our CNC equipped machine shop. Magnolia is competitive in quantities from a few pieces up to a thousand and is strongest in larger parts with diameters over two inches, and our quality control system gives some customers the confidence to have Magnolia direct ship parts on their own bills of lading.

Bronze, Bearings, and Lead Free Options

Although bronze castings are our specialty, we also make bearings and use lead free B 1 bronze for castings. Discover why so many companies specify Magnolia’s bronze castings and bearings. Bronze is simply the best.
