Galvin Engineering consolidates local manufacturing by acquiring Allcast Foundry

Announcement posted by Galvin Engineering 06 Jan 2015

Perth, WA, 31st December, 2014
Galvin Engineering Pty Ltd announces the recent acquisition of Allcast Foundry, which will merge under the business unit of Galvin Machined Castings (GMC). The purchase of Allcast Foundry, based in O’Connor, increases GMC’s experience in foundries and machining facilities to over 135 years, and reinforces our position as Australia’s machined castings specialist.

We welcome Duncan Allen and his team into the Galvin Engineering group of companies, and believe that their expertise will greatly contribute to our existing team knowledge base, which will strengthen and expand our service and product offerings to our clients. Allcast are well known for quality castings in aluminium and non-ferrous metals, and are famous for the Eccles brand of muff couplings.

“This investment represents an important strategic opportunity, as Australian manufacturers, especially foundries, are becoming rare so finding a local solution is becoming difficult for Australian operations. In addition, our service and quality standards in Australia are world class, so we believe that local manufacturers have the ‘home field’ advantages of specialised technical experience, qualified production staff, fast turnaround times, and modern machinery. Our clients can be assured that the services and products we supply will continue to be reliable, competitive, and to their strict specifications. This acquisition allows us to add to our capacity as a “onestop” casting and machining shop, to ensure we are able to delight and provide superior value for our customers“ says Chris Galvin, Managing Director of Galvin Engineering
