What Spokane Industries does

Spokane Industries is a US-based foundry and precision castings manufacturer founded in 1952 and headquartered at a ~250,000 sq ft facility in Spokane Valley, Washington. The company operates two foundry divisions: (1) Commercial OEM Steel Castings and Precision Investment Castings using the lost-wax process, serving construction, mining, energy, transportation, defense, medical, and industrial manufacturing customers with castings up to 5,500 lbs; and (2) Aggregate and Mining Wear Parts featuring the proprietary patented Si-Tec® ceramic composite technology, which delivers 1.5–4x the wear life of standard parts in crusher and material handling applications.

Core production technology centers on precision investment casting (wax injection, zircon-based shell building, 120 psi autoclave dewaxing, induction melting with the proprietary Argon Spal process for cleaner alloys) and high chrome white iron casting, supported by full in-house capabilities including pattern making, metallurgy, heat treatment, machining, and non-destructive testing (magnetic particle, ultrasonic, radiographic, and laser dimensional inspection). The Si-Tec® brand is a registered patent covering ceramic composite wear components for VSI and HSI crushers, mining chutes, and material handling equipment.

Revenue is generated through (a) hardware sales of branded wear parts (Si-Tec® ceramic composites plus standard chrome parts for crusher OEMs Barmac, Canica, Cedarapids, Cemco, Kolberg-Pioneer, Terex, and others) distributed through an exclusive North American dealer network with on-site technical field support, and (b) custom and precision investment casting orders sold direct to commercial, industrial, medical, and manufacturing customers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the company also references an international market presence alongside its domestic focus. The business is privately held under Pat and Lisa Turner following the January 4, 2022 acquisition from the Tenold family, with no disclosed institutional investors or parent company.

Revenue model

1. Custom Steel and Iron Castings: Provides high performance, quality custom castings for commercial and industrial partners. Castings range up to 5,500 lbs. Revenue is generated through one-time custom casting orders for OEM partners, as well as repeat production orders.
2. Crusher Wear Parts (VSI and HSI): Manufactures and sells wear parts for vertical and horizontal shaft impact crushers including blow bars, anvils, table liners, feed discs, shoes, and chute liners. Products sold through dealer network across North America.
3. Si-Tec® Ceramic Composite Parts: Proprietary patented ceramic composite wear parts with extended wear life (1.5 to 4 times standard parts). Premium-priced products sold as replacement parts for mining and aggregate crushing operations.
4. Precision Investment Castings: Provides precision investment castings for commercial, industrial, medical, and manufacturing needs. Near net shape production minimizes secondary operations. Revenue from custom precision casting orders.

Direct peers

• Magotteaux: Global specialist in wear-resistant castings and grinding media for mining and aggregate crushing applications. Direct competitor to Spokane's Si-Tec ceramic wear parts franchise with overlapping product lines (crusher wear parts, chute liners, mill liners) serving the same end markets.
• Columbia Steel Casting Co. US-based steel foundry producing custom wear parts for mining, aggregate, and heavy industry with proprietary alloys. Closely comparable to Spokane Industries' OEM castings and wear-parts business model, serving identical HSI/VSI crusher and mining markets.
• ME Elecmetal: Specializes in wear-resistant castings and grinding media for mining and aggregate crushing. Direct peer with comparable product categories (crusher wear parts, liners) and overlapping customer base in mining OEMs and operators.
• Hensley Industries (Komatsu): Komatsu-owned manufacturer of wear parts for mining, construction, and aggregate — including the bolt-on wear runner base members that Spokane's bolt-on wear runners are designed to be compatible with. Direct competitor in wheel loader, excavator, and dragline bucket wear parts.
• Bradken: Global manufacturer of custom castings and wear products for mining, resources, and heavy industrial markets. Closely comparable to Spokane's OEM steel castings and mining wear parts offerings, with overlapping capabilities in custom alloy development and large castings.
• Castolin Eutectic: Specialist in wear protection solutions including hardfacing, welding consumables, and wear plates for mining, cement, and aggregate. Comparable to Spokane's wear parts business with focus on extending equipment service life in abrasive environments.

Broad incumbents

• FLSmidth: Global mining OEM where Pat Turner served as President of North American operations. Offers crushing equipment, wear parts, and full mining flowsheets — overlapping with Spokane's wear-parts business but as a much broader, vertically-integrated supplier.
• Metso: Major mining and aggregate OEM with extensive wear parts portfolio across VSI/HSI crushers, including proprietary alloys and OEM-branded consumables. Competes with Spokane's aftermarket crusher wear parts, supported by global service network and installed-base lock-in.
• Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions: Major mining OEM offering crushing equipment and wear parts with global service network. Overlaps with Spokane's wear-parts offering and competes in the same aftermarket replacement cycle, particularly through its own proprietary wear materials.
• Kennametal: Industrial wear-resistant products and mining consumables across a broad portfolio. While spanning multiple industries beyond mining, has meaningful overlap with Spokane's wear-parts and abrasion-resistant castings business in mining and aggregate.
