Suppliers of All Foundry Needs
For more than 70 years, Malcolm G. Stevens, Inc.
has been New England’s leading provider of
supplies critical to the functionality of foundries
as well as others in the die cast and machine shop
industries. Originally established in Arlington,
Massachusetts, in 1945, M.G. Stevens moved to
Tyngsboro in 2000 where it maintains some
37,000 square-feet of service capacity, all
complemented by an unparalleled array of
inventoried goods to rapidly accommodate any
need of industry. In recent years, Malcolm G.
Stevens, Inc. has expanded to also offer supply
services to enterprises involved with paving,
offering a comprehensive line of machinery from
ride-on rollers and mixers to compactors in
addition to the exhaustive inventory of asphalt
shoes, tampers, shovels, lutes and much more.
As for foundry supply services, M.G. Stevens
outperforms all and is distinguished for having
the region’s largest stock supply of crucibles.
Beyond its ability to fulfill supply needs, M.G.
Stevens’ success has been prompted by its
approach to service. Competitive pricing,
convenient credit terms and reliable, timely
delivery of customer orders add to M.G.
Stevens’ capabilities. More than 95% of customer
orders are processed within a two-day
turnaround, and in terms of order fulfillment, the
company maintains an accuracy rate just shy of
100 percent. A third-generation family-owned
business, M.G. Stevens is driven by family values
of accountability, integrity and respect, and those
values undergird all interactions with customers.
After 70 years of operation, its associates
maintain a first-name basis with customers as
well as an awareness of their respective
enterprise, enabling M.G. Stevens to not only
anticipate needs, but better ensure their ability
to reliably respond to customer requirements.
Old fashion values, modern innovations in
technology and the industry’s widest inventory
of resources position M.G. Stevens as the most
efficient and effective master supplier to the
masters in metal-craft.
Palmer’s casting solutions have successfully
spared customers from unnecessary burdens
of cost, time and frustration, all thanks to the
operational ingenuity of a team led by Dave
and Bob Logan.
