B&L Signings and Go-Lives for Q3 of 2023

Bridgman, Michigan, October 16, 2023 – B&L Information Systems, North American leader in metalcasting ERP software, has announced four company additions to the Odyssey family of active users in the third quarter of 2023.

The following three company locations went live with new installations of Odyssey ERP in the 3rd quarter of 2023:

Tazewell Machine Works, Inc. - Pekin, Illinois. Tazewell was founded in 1945 by Henry F. and Blanche M. Cakora as a jobbing machine shop. To better serve customers, a non-ferrous foundry was later added so that the company did not have to rely on other foundries to procure their castings. Today, Tazewell Machine Works is still owned by the Cakora family, and are now a fourth-generation family-owned business. The company has an experienced workforce and management team with over 153 combined years of service expertise.
Epcor Foundries - Cincinnati, OH. Epcor Foundry is a division of Seilkop Industries, Inc.  Seilkop Industries consists of four individual companies specializing in aluminum sand casting, die making, CNC pattern making, Blanchard grinding, burnout, roll grinding and equipment repair. Since 1946, Seilkop Industries, Inc. has the in-house capabilities of taking projects from design to prototype to production to finish. Their focus is on solving manufacturing needs with highly specialized application-based solutions.
Liberty Technologies - Delaware, OH. Liberty Casting is an American Cast Iron Foundry carrying a long history of producing high-quality gray and ductile iron castings. Customers are their driving force, and as the manufacturing industry faces significant pressure to meet the ever-changing demands in today’s global economy, Liberty Casting is here for their customers. Their facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment as well as computerized process control systems. These processes allow them to provide their customers with continued high-quality, cost-effective iron castings.

During the July–September 2023 timeframe, new metalcasting companies signing to the Cloud-based Odyssey ERP software system included:

Rimer Enterprises, Inc. – Waterville, OH. Since 1944, Rimer Enterprises has been committed to serving the industry with complete investment casting capabilities. Their management team takes great pride in ensuring everything they do – from customer interaction to the delivery of castings – receives the utmost attention. During any project, they place the expertise of their skilled engineers at your disposal. Unlike many of their competitors, they use their own tooling shop. Their state-of-the-art testing machines ensure perfect results every time. Their recently expanded facility greatly increases both their operations and their capacity.
