Manufacturing Process Versatility : Technology

Citation is one of the most broadly diversified metal component manufacturers, yet we are world class in each process thanks to our technological expertise in manufacturing, materials, and machining.

Our leading-edge manufacturing technologies include precision high-pressure die casting, vacuum die casting, computer generated models, automated laser pouring, industry-leading lost foam process and one of the largest closed die forging operations in North America. Citation's multiple manufacturing processes enable us to produce simple to complex parts with very efficient material yields and consistent production.

Citation's technological diversity also allows us to work in numerous forms of metal and other exotic materials to produce difficult parts in a repetitive production environment. Our metallurgical process controls ensure exceptional consistency and dimensional control.

When your components move from manufacturing to machining and assembly, we provide the latest technologies here as well. We are a leader in high-volume precision machining with the capacity to continuously provide excellent accuracy and repeatability. Our unique in-house tool design and construction, as well as our cutting tool grinding are sought after by customers who need dedicated lines set up in minimal time. In addition, we have 7-axis grinders capable of producing any type of sophisticated geometry that's required.

At Citation, we unite technology with talent and machines to achieve part consistency, better throughput, and superior part integrity.
