Technology & Products
Key Products
MacLean-Fogg is comprised of five business groups: Fastener Solutions, Engineered Solutions, Plastic Solutions, MacLean Power Systems, and MacLean Civil Products. They offer a diverse portfolio including fastener components, engineered components, engineered plastics, and additive manufacturing solutions for various industries like automotive, industrial, and solar.
Technological Advantage
The company's key advantage lies in its proprietary L-40 tool steel powder, specifically designed for Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF). This allows them to create large, complex tooling with advanced features like conformal cooling channels, which are difficult or impossible to produce with conventional methods. This technology significantly reduces tooling lead times and improves the quality and cycle time of the final casted parts for their customers.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
To provide high-quality, precision-engineered components and innovative manufacturing solutions, including large-format metal 3D printing for tooling, that enhance production efficiency, reduce lead times, and improve the performance of customer products.
How They Differentiate
MacLean-Fogg differentiates itself through its long-standing industry experience since 1925, a diverse portfolio of engineered components, and a strategic focus on innovation, particularly in additive manufacturing for large-scale tooling. This allows them to offer advanced solutions like 3D printed die-cast tooling inserts, which are difficult to produce with traditional methods.
