What Is a Foundry?


A foundry is a manufacturing facility where metal is melted, poured into moulds, and solidified to produce shaped castings. The process transforms raw ferrous or non-ferrous materials into precise, engineered components used across industries including rail, defence, mining, and infrastructure. Beckwith Group operates as a full-service casting facility and iron foundry serving Melbourne, VIC, and the broader Epping and northern corridor manufacturing sector, with capabilities spanning iron, steel, and aluminium casting under one group.



Ferrous vs Non-Ferrous Casting



Ferrous metals, principally grey iron, ductile iron, and steel alloys, offer high strength and wear resistance suited to rail trackwork, mining wear parts, and heavy infrastructure. Non-ferrous metals, most commonly aluminium, are valued for lighter weight and corrosion resistance in precision automotive and aerospace applications. Beckwith Group operates across both categories, with its iron casting capability covering ferrous steel and iron castings, and its non-ferrous division producing high-integrity aluminium castings using aerospace-grade methods. For clients across the Epping, Campbellfield, and northern Melbourne industrial zones, this breadth means fewer suppliers and a single point of accountability.



Casting Process Types Offered


Beckwith Group applies a range of casting processes depending on component geometry, alloy type, production volume, and tolerance requirements.


 Processes include:


  ▸ Sand casting, utilising resin-bonded silica sand moulds and cores for complex ferrous and non-ferrous geometries.


   ▸ Shell moulding, using resin-coated sands produced through the group's Macbro Sands facility for high-dimensional-accuracy cores and moulds.


   ▸ Resin-bonded core making, enabling intricate internal passages within castings for sectors such as automotive and rail.


   ▸ Heat treatment and quench processing, carried out on-site for steel castings requiring specific hardness and mechanical properties.

  The group's iron foundry at its Coburg North site supports on-site casting, heat treatment, quenching, and materials testing through a dedicated laboratory with spectrometer chemical analysis and hardness testing.
