Small non-ferrous foundry – Foundry Solutions – evolves
With an ethic of hard work and the aspiration to be successful, the need to expand shop floor space to cater for an increase in capital equipment inventory needed for new orders and the advent of adding staff, would soon surface and the anticipated expansion could no longer be accommodated in the garage attached to the owner’s home where the business was established.

The Foseco sustainability toolbox… How our products can contribute
No carcinogens in Foseco products for 26 years.
