Dear Customer,
I am pleased to announce the sale of the manufacturing operations of The Hines Flask Company to Buckeye Aluminum Foundry, Inc.
Buckeye Aluminum was founded in 1973 and presently manufactures aluminum castings for a variety of industries.  They are well respected for their outstanding quality and on-time delivery.  The owners are long time friends and current Hines customers.  They know the Hines product lines and will "make the product right."  I believe you will notice a marked improvement in both quality and delivery.
Hines Flask's manufacturing operations were moved to Buckeye Aluminum during April. Production of the Hines line commenced on May 1, 2002.
Effective July 15, please call the Hines Flask Division of Buckeye Aluminum Foundry and place your orders with Hank White. His information is:
