Personal Testimonials
What People Say About Chris Whitehouse
I have known and worked with Chris for the past 20+ years in the Investment Casting Industry. In the early days it was difficult to find technology on shells and shell systems. We worked with Chris and his team specifically due to their technology and strong system support, the latter of which was unprecedented. Chris developed an investment casting system for us that optimized material application and shell strength with minimal coats. As I move toward the twilight of my career, I will never forget Chris and his team of support for all they did for me, our company and the industry. His knowledge and willingness to share with the industry is a tremendous asset. I will always be most grateful for the opportunity to know and work with Chris over my career.

I have worked with Chris for over 20 years, and I have worked with as a co-author, supplier, and as a customer. Two attributes come to mind when I think of Chris: integrity and a true interest in shell building (which is becoming a lost art). In all my time in the industry, I can think of no one that has done more for his customers with is encyclopedic knowledge of shell building and his genuine desire to see his customers succeed. What more could you want? Knowledge and the comfort of knowing that you can trust the job will be done.
