The
Stockton Casting Company was founded in 1947 as a small, privately owned
jobbing foundry producing cupola melted grey iron castings, and remained
such until 1977 when medium frequency electric melting was
installed. Utilising the electric furnaces
saw the birth of a flexible melting system (fleximelt), which enabled
production of components in a wide variety of material
specifications.

Melting
capacity increased five fold with the installation of two 850KW medium
frequency furnaces in 1994, each with a melting capacity of 1 tonne per
50 minutes.
The foundry's expertise lies in the manufacture of high integrity
complex castings, including large diesel engine components, compressors,
pumps and blowers. These are cast in a wide range of ferrous alloys,
with castings typically weighing from one to 1,500 kilos. Production
runs are flexible, from 10,000 to one off.
