For a number of years all MACA Dutch ovens were cast in the Springville foundry. In the late 1990’s the owners could see two things happening with their foundry business. First, the cost of manufacturing Dutch ovens was getting so high that few people could afford their quality ovens. Second, their foundry was not able to handle the increasing demand for orders of industrial castings and Dutch oven castings.
After much consideration a decision was made to create a sister company and build a new foundry in India. The following is MACA’s press release concerning their new India operations:
“MACA has recently added a sister company. Located near Calcutta India, and named CRESMAC Calcutta, it is another high quality foundry in the tradition of MACA Supply Company.”
Given that their products are already higher cost than Lodge, I guess they had a problem. All I know about their products is what's on the link.
