PROFILE
 
The Origins of Steele and Lincoln Foundry (Vic.) Pty. Ltd., date back to 1913, when the present owner's grandfather established the Enterprise Foundry in Bruswick, Victoria, specialising in pattern making, castings and machinery for General Engineering Industries.

1964 saw a new Foundry aquired in Clifton Hill, W.H. Steele by the two sons. This business providing mainly sash weights, fire and storm grates.

In 1967, one of the sons Arch and his son Douglas aquired the Lincoln Foundry in Burwood and combining the two names saw the beginning of Steele and Lincoln Foundry as we know it.

Advancement in Technology provided for Steele and Lincoln to engage the use of electric induction furnaces, a spectographic analysis machine and an automatic moulding machine. Steele and Lincoln's capacity and reputation rapidly developed and expanded, so much so that the only way to contain it was to purchase a larger plant, Dandenong.

The current facilities now include :-

  • A spectographic analysis machine - ARL 3460.
  • 4 Electric Induction Furnaces - 500 - 1,500 kg.
  • A wheelabrator shot blast system and Heat Treatment Stove for annealing, normalizing and tempering.
  • 3 Continuous Hard Sand Mixing Machines.
  • Top level in-house pattern making facilities.
  • CB 22 RM Auto Core and mould unit.

Ultimately, Steele and Lincoln Foundry aim not only to have enhanced their current involvement in the national market but worldwide too.
