When you’re choosing a UK foundry, you need more than a supplier. You need a partner that understands your sector, delivers on time, and supports you from concept to casting.
At Fowler & Holden, we’ve worked with the UK’s infrastructure, marine, utilities and manufacturing sectors for over 100 years. Here’s what partnering with us really means.
Fowler & Holden: More Than Just a Foundry
A UK Casting Partner with Engineering Experience
We don’t just make castings – we help shape them. Our engineers review your drawings, offer advice on castability, and help reduce machining time with smarter pattern design.
Whether you’re uploading a CAD file or bringing in a legacy part for reverse engineering, we make your requirements our priority.
Castings Made in Grimsby, Delivered Nationwide
As a UK-based foundry with national reach, we combine traditional methods with modern processes to offer:
- Grey and SG iron castings.
- EN and ISO-compliant quality.
- Rapid prototyping and batch work.
- CNC machining in-house.
- Reliable delivery to anywhere in the UK.
Supporting Complex and Regulated Sectors
1. Infrastructure and Utilities
We’re proud to support public sector and Tier 1 contractors with drainage components, pressure housings, and highway castings – all backed by certified documentation and traceability.
2. Marine and Offshore
We manufacture corrosion-resistant components for harsh environments. Our castings are used in shipbuilding, ports, power stations and coastal infrastructure.
The Value of In-House Capabilities
Unlike many UK foundries, we don’t rely on third parties for finishing. Fowler & Holden offers:
- In-house pattern shop.
- On-site machining up to 1.5m.
- Welding and fabrication.
- Final inspection and testing.
This gives you faster turnaround, more control, and easier repeatability.
Long-Term Thinking, Lasting Support
Some clients have worked with us for decades. Why? Because we:
- Store patterns for future use.
- Maintain production data for reorders.
- Offer emergency remanufacturing.
- Handle low-volume legacy parts and urgent replacement castings.
- Are easy to reach – you can speak directly to an engineer.
We’re not just a casting shop. We’re part of your supply chain.
