The vertical integration process at JL French starts with the smelting process. By controlling the raw material JL French reduces the waste in the value stream and ensures the material supply.

There are many advantages for smelting at JL French. We process our alloy with chlorine to assure the highest quality of metal cleanliness. When it comes to our alloy, we stock a reliable supply. We also house propane tanks to back up the natural gas supply to provide an alternate energy source during fuel shortages. And finally we offer competitive metal pricing. At JL French, we hold ourselves to the highest quality standards for both our customers and the products we produce.
