Our Services

McLean Foundry will satisfy your iron casting needs. Our melting operation consists of a 10 ton/hour cupola and three individual pouring lines for small, medium, and large castings. We use a no-bake core and moulding system.

Patternmaking is done through either the use of standard wood patterns or single-use polystyrene "foam" patterns as a cost effective, and fast alternate when a pattern does not exist. Other services include heat treating, machining, mechanical testing, and non-destructive testing.

We started in 1902 as Hartley Foundry and had an important role in supplying castings to Canada's war production during the two World Wars. In 1946, with some expansion and retooling, we began to focus on the manufacturing of aircraft, stamping industries, and jobbing services for low volume specialized castings.​ Under new ownership in the 1970's, the foundry became known as McLean Foundry Limited.

Today, our 31 team members possess over 500 years of combined service. That's an average of 16 years per person. We're a proud founding member of the Canadian Foundry Association and a member of the American Foundry Society as well.
