Founded in 1966, Badger Alloys has transformed from a classic sand foundry into a modern full-service casting manufacturing group that encompasses an airset foundry, dedicated pattern facility, complete machine shop, on-site engineers and state-of-the-art rapid response technologies. This single-source capability - and vested interest in the entire process - results in the best castings in the shortest amount of time. For more than 50 years, we have specialized in creating complex pump castings and custom valve castings across many industries.
As a family-owned business our philosophy is simple: Take care of people and do the right thing. Founder Leslie Cowen established that foundation more than 50 years ago and it guides the company today. In 1997, current President and CEO Robert Cowen, Leslie's son, became the company's leader. Many family members, including those in the family's third generation, are also active in the company. We consider each and every employee part of the Badger Alloys family and an integral part of our success.
