The Blackwood Way
Putting you first, wherever you are in the world
The Blackwood Way is what sets us apart as a supplier. The Blackwood Way is all about providing quality castings and engineered products to our customers worldwide.
Blackwood Engineering has been utilising counterweight and casting sourcing from overseas for over 15 years. We work closely with a network of strategic partner foundries in India and China and have developed an excellent relationship with them, which helps us to avoid many of the pitfalls that many organisations experience.
Our close working relationship ensures constant and excellent communication channels with our foundries, who we liaise with daily. We also have our own specialised engineers who work directly at our partner foundries. We believe this to be a critical component of our expertise in providing the best possible service to meet your counterweight and casting sourcing needs.
We realise that your requirements can change quickly so this close relationship also allows us to be flexible in our production scheduling with the foundry, enabling us to alter our orders quickly
