Press Release Summary: IndustrialLeaders.com, an industrial supply portal publishes
a new directory and buying guide to connect American manufacturers and exporters of
castings with overseas buyers

Press Release Body: Westboro, MA - Industrial Leaders, a division of Donald LaBelle
Associates, a US-based publisher of industrial supply directories and organizer of
virtual trade shows, announced today the launch of a new on-line directory which
according to the company is designed to promote North American manufacturers of
castings to companies in UK, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand and other
international markets.

The new American Castings Directory includes offerings on a wide variety of castings
such as investment, semi-permanent, mold, ceramic, aluminum castings, zinc, turbine,
titanium, superalloy, stainless steel, shell, semiconductor castings, precision,
prototype, plastic, non-ferrous, nickel steel, machines castings, sand, miniature,
lost wax, permanent castings, low alloy steel, Monel®, malleable iron, copper
castings, sheet metal, rubber mold and virtually all other types of castings in
various materials, shapes and sizes.

The new directory is located at
http://www.industrialleaders.com/listings/castings.html and includes hundreds of
offerings from designers, manufacturers and exporters of castings in or serving
mainly the United States, Mexico, Canada, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina
as well as other North and South American countries.

\"Recently there has been a significant number of companies in the U.S. and abroad
importing an increasing number of castings from countries such as India and China,
most likely because of their low price,\" says Conrad Bailey, Business Director of
IndustrialLeaders.com. He added, \"These companies fail to realize low priced
castings can end up costing more in the long run because of their often lack in
material quality or manufacturer experience. We believe some of the highest quality
castings in the world are made right here in America from producers with decades of
experience utilizing quality domestic steel, superalloys and other materials.\"

Bailey went on to say, \"We understand factories often need to reduce expenses but to
produce quality goods you need quality castings from an experienced manufacturer
that takes no short cuts in the production process as well as the materials
utilized. That\'s why we say buy American-made castings because with the U.S. being
the most competitive market in the world, quality is not an option.\"

Industrial Leaders is a member of the http://www.IndustrialCOOP.com
business-to-business search engine and network. Together, the two companies connect
thousands of industrial buyers and suppliers every day all over the world focusing
on specific markets such as North America, UK and Australia. Bailey said the company
plans to release a CD version of its Castings Buying Guide which is due to be
released in the Spring of 2008.
