PCC Douglas is located in Douglas,
Georgia, approximately 2
hours northwest of Jacksonville,
Florida. PCC Douglas
excels as a manufacturer of precision castings for the aircraft, aerospace,
and power generation industries. Our products are made to exacting
quality standards. We have a strong commitment to excellence in our
products, our work practices, our productivity, quality of work life and to
community relations.
The first phase of the Douglas
facility was completed in July of 1980. In 1981, construction began on a
77,000 sq. ft. addition which, when completed, enabled Douglas
to become a complete castings operation. The plant is located on a 45
acre tract and covers approximately 100,000 sq. ft. or 2.5 acres.
The Douglas
plant is organized to produce precision investment castings with an equiaxed
or uniformly shaped crystalline structure throughout the casting. The
product configurations include individual blades, vanes, segments and
complete assemblies which are designed as integral castings. These
blades and vanes, along with some structural components, are subjected to
tremendous stress and operating temperatures during their lifetime in an
engine.
Alloys composed primarily of nickel and
cobalt are used to cast the blades and vanes for gas turbine engines. These
metals possess properties that are required for the temperature and stress
levels encountered. Because of this rigorous application, each step of
the manufacturing process is extremely critical.
The Douglas
facility employs over 900 people and has annual sales nearing one hundred
million dollars.
