In 1958, our founder Len Tamasi began providing centerless grinding services to supply the manufacturing world with bar stock material of unmatched quality. As the years went on, what began as a one-man operation with a single centerless grinding machine evolved into a nationwide network of high precision material distribution. BC became synonymous with premium quality bar stock material for demanding applications like aerospace, automotive, and medical device manufacturing.
Now more than ever, the demand for precision ground bar stock for CNC machining extends to every corner of the world- far past the region where BC began. To meet that need, we are proud to announce our latest venture to expand our centerless grinding services to the manufacturing market of Costa Rica. This is the story of how this expansion project came to be; how it will help our customers; and why we selected our new distribution partner to make it all possible.
Reaching Costa Rica
Boston Centerless has long supported the manufacturing industry across the globe with our supply chain management and precision centerless grinding services. Although our worldwide reach is nothing new, continuous improvement and the ongoing pursuit of excellence drives us to explore ways that we can enhance our customers’ experience. Through this drive, our team has identified an opportunity to better serve our customers in the southeastern United States and Costa Rica.
How This Benefits Our Customers
Our reason for this expansion is simple: to offer more efficient and cost-effective supply chain solutions.
Enhanced Order Fulfillment Speed
Boston Centerless has gained the ability to fulfill orders at a higher speed, all with the same attentiveness that our customers have come to expect from Boston Centerless.
Supply Chain Savings
By enhancing our reach, we are ensuring that our precision materials are more accessible than ever, helping you to simplify operations and reduce overhead expenses with a reliable supply chain.
What We Are Providing to Costa Rica Manufacturers
Our team is focused on delivering the following services to manufacturers in Costa Rica to the best of our abilities.
Centerless Grinding Services
Our centerless grinding services provide customers with the most efficient method of achieving tight tolerances in their precision ground bar stock. This Skilled Material, as we like to call it, allows operators to drastically cut down on machine setup time to maximize uptime, reduce cost per unit, and ultimately machine a better quality product.
Value-Added Services
To supplement our primary service, we also offer a selection of material preparation services including:
- Heat treating
- Bar straightening
- Bar end chamfering
And many more. Visit our value added services page for a full list of additional offerings for material preparation beyond centerless grinding.
Material Testing & Validation
While product dimensions are instrumental in simplifying complex CNC machining processes, we understand that quality goes beyond the surface into the core of the material. That is why we offer different methods of material testing & validation, including:
- Ultrasonic testing
- Eddy current testing
- XRF alloy verification
Visit our material testing & validation page to get the full details on these advanced material quality verification procedures.
Supply Chain Management
Possibly the most critical part of this expansion is the supply chain security that it brings to the local market. Our team works with each customer to find the right balance between ensuring reliability and minimizing inventory management costs.
We look forward to serving our customers- both returning and brand new- with our newly enhanced distribution chain and precision in everything we do.
