Forward thinking keeps 123-year-old foundry burning By Paula Schuck Despite World Wars, the Great Depression and more recently the world-wide pandemic, Lethbridge Iron Works has kept burning. Continuously operating since 1898, Lethbridge Iron Works has a lot of Canadian pride.
Family-run Lethbridge Iron Works began operating in Lethbridge, Alberta well before Alberta was officially recognized as a province. Founded by George Davies, today, the president of the company, Dylan Davies, is a fourth-generation family member. The company, employing 175 people, has grown and adapted over the years to be able to continue doing what they do best. They are thriving and currently hiring. Lethbridge Iron Works produces Grey Iron, Ductile Iron, Austempered Ductile Iron, Carbidic Austempered Ductile Iron and Hi-Chrome Iron castings. They are a single source iron casting provider. Investment in a continuous capital improvement program has ensured they are at the leading edge of foundry technology.
