The
history of ACE FOUNDRY
ACE FOUNDRY was born in 1951 as a permanent mold casting foundry making
aluminum lawn mower bases and cooking griddles. In 1983, the company
changed hands and became ACE Pattern & Foundry of Kansas Inc..
In 1987, sand casting was begun in a second location. In 1988, the sand
foundry was automated and a B & P 2016 automatic molding
machine was added, making it the only automatic aluminum sand foundry
in the area. In 1995, all production was moved into the new plant and
in 1996, the office was also relocated to the new plant. In January
1997, the new plant suffered a total loss fire and the operation moved
back into the old plant during the rebuilding of the new plant.
Permanent molding was back in production within 6 weeks of the fire,
but the automatic sand system took 2 years to resume production.
