In 1938 Quality Castings was established by Aneurin ‘Rusty’ Rhydderch, a prominent metallurgist, to develop the production of special alloys for industry in applications involving corrosion, heat and wear resistance.

Originally located in Waterloo just 4 kms from the center of Sydney the company originally manufactured non magnetic parts for minesweepers and valves for ammonium plants.

In the post war era the company developed and manufactured the Chemcon range of pumps and valves which were widely used in the Australian chemical industry until 1973 when restrictions on imports were abolished.

Since that time the company has become a supplier of castings to the major names in pump and valve manufacturing in Australia and many of its castings are now exported within completed assemblies to Asia and the Middle East.

In addition major exporters of minerals including Coal, Natural Gas, Nickel, Copper, Aluminium and Iron Ore have been supplied with corrosion, heat and wear resisting components to support their operations.

During its history the company has absorbed other foundries including Bramwell & Vincent, Aviation Alloys, and Carruthers Foundry. The company moved to its present larger site in Revesby in 1998 and has continued to grow in capacity and capability.
