History

Norcast Wear Solutions: Combination of two complimentary foundry businesses on opposite sides of the world. Modernized and updated many times, our facilities are among the most modern foundry operations in the world.

Norcast foundry in its early years.

Norcast foundry today.

Canada: Founded in 1908, the Norcast foundry has been in continuous operation for over 100 years and our historical roots lie within service to the mining industry. Located in Mont-Joli, Quebec, Canada, the location brings a unique dimension to the business. A long-term, close knit group of employees using old fashioned know-how, and leading edge technology to produce the best castings, period.

Asia: The Asian operations stem from one family’s dedication to the foundry business. From a single foundry in Singapore, the Company (Swanmet) grew successfully from a regional jobbing operation to a solutions centre with large scale manufacturing, serving the global market. The business has grown based on its embedded principles of technical quality and customer relationships. It is these very values that have allowed it to become a fused and integral part of Norcast Wear Solutions.

An important contributor to the economy of the region, Norcast takes great pride in the strong relationship that it fosters with the community.
