The Pennsylvania Foundry Association is proud to celebrate one of our members, BQC Foundry in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, for its remarkable transformation and continued leadership in the metalcasting industry.
A recent feature in Modern Casting magazine highlights how this fourth-generation family business, led by Executive Vice President Brandon Boose, has embraced modernization and growth while staying true to its roots. Boose, who began his career working every role on the foundry floor, has helped guide BQC through a dynamic evolution — from a traditional job shop to a high-volume, technology-driven operation.
Through strategic investments in simulation software, automation, and advanced process control, BQC Foundry has significantly increased production efficiency and consistency. The company’s installation of a custom-engineered AutoPour system has enhanced safety, improved metal quality, and boosted productivity — positioning BQC as a leader in operational innovation.
In 2023, the company rebranded as BQC Foundry, marking a new era of modernization and strategic growth. With a sharpened focus on infrastructure, utilities, and automotive markets, BQC continues to demonstrate how Pennsylvania foundries are advancing both technology and craftsmanship.
The Pennsylvania Foundry Association congratulates BQC Foundry for its achievements and its commitment to excellence. Their success story reflects the innovation, determination, and collaboration that define our industry.
