Unparalleled craftsmanship that spans generations

STEADY OWNERSHIP AND
A STEADFAST VISION

Willamette Pattern Works has

prospered under the visionary

leadership of the same family

for nearly 50 years. In 1965,

Willie Kaster purchased the

company, skillfully guiding it

through several economic cycles

of recession and recovery.


Willie’s son, Ken, served under

the tutelage of his father for

15 years and assumed leadership

of the company in 1978. Ken is

actively involved in the day-to-day

operations of Willamette Pattern

today, serving as company

president.


This consistency of ownership,

values, and culture, has played a

great role in the success of our

company and the customers

we serve.

Tooling expertise for foundries, castings, composites, pumps, and more

We have experience, obviously—years and years of it. And you’ll benefit from decades of collective wisdom, expertise, and a commitment to precision tooling.
     You can also count on excellent communication at every project milestone. In order to facilitate the manufacturing process, we initiate an ongoing dialogue with foundry personnel as well as product

engineering teams. When necessary, we can provide a range of tooling options to speed production even further.
     Our many years of experience communicating with foundries is especially beneficial, as it enables us to facilitate projects and ensure that production timelines are faithfully met.
     Communication skills go hand in hand with providing premier customer service. We take great pride in taking care of our customers.   back »
