About us

We started trading in 1927 and incorporated in 1939 and has remained an independant family company in the present day.

Even through the last decades the company continues to invest for the future and intends to continue to provide its services well into the 21st Century.

We now have the capability to supply castings in Ni hard, Ni resist, Grey Iron, SG or Ductile Iron, Austempered Ductile Iron, Aluminimum, Steel and some copper based materials.

We are one of the very few foundries that can use small loose patterns and make castings from old and broken castings.

Testimonials

"Dear Leach & Thompson. The crank shaft and conrods supplied have made it possible to rebuild the ships no1 start compressor on schedule and the ship is now bound for Greece. Let me again thank you for your cooperation in this matter. You were recommended to us as things were deteriorating with our previous supplier. The initial reinvestment in pattern equipment as certainly paid off. With that we have a much greater guarantee of turn around on our products. "

MPC Ltd

"Dear Mick and team. A quick note just to acknowledge the effort you have put in to see that the shipment of castings bound for America arrived on time. We sent our fitters on a flight with all fingers crossed hoping to meet up with them on their arrival. Just as you promised they were there waiting."

Thanks again from Abacus of York.
