From its humble beginnings in a small room in Birmingham Foseco has become an international supplier of consumable products to the foundry industry. Foundry Services Limited was established in 1932 as a supplier of flux products to brass and bronze foundries in Birmingham, England. The "Foseco" brand name was first used in 1934 and originates from the words FOundry SErvices COmpany.
The original success of the company was based not only on the provision of high quality products, but also on service and problem-solving as well as the development of application technology. This philosophy remains one of Foseco’s core values to this very day.
Since 1932, Foseco has continuously developed product and process innovations for the foundry industry. These include exothermic and insulating feeding systems, filtration of liquid alloys, direct pour technology, solidification simulation software, non ferrous metal treatment and degassing systems, metal stream inoculation, electrostatic coatings, environmentally friendly binders and insulating ladle lining systems.
