Chamberlin & Hill Castings LTD and Russell Ductile Castings LTD come together to provide a total castings capability and market leading service to customers throughout the UK, mainland Europe and the rest of the World.
Based on over a century of world class experience and expertise, customers specialising in areas ranging from automotive to power generation and military to light engineering, have come to rely on us to satisfy their requirements for iron castings and fully finished components.
Our Light Castings Division, located at Walsall, specialises in smaller castings up to approximately 30kg, often with complex shapes and fine tolerances requiring highly skilled manufacturing methods. These castings and components are predominantly supplied into the automotive industry for such applications as turbochargers, hydraulic pumps and power steering systems. The strong growth in the use of turbochargers in European vehicle manufacture in particular has given us the opportunity to demonstrate our industry leading capabilities in this area.
The Heavy Casting Division, made up of Russell Castings in Leicester and Ductile Castings in Scunthorpe, produces low volume specialised castings in a variety of iron types, ranging from under 30kg to 5,000kg, mainly for use in industrial applications such as power generation, steel production, railways and construction throughout the World. Demand for machined and finished components rather than raw castings is becoming increasingly prevalent, and we are responding by broadening our capability to provide a "one-stop shop" to satisfy our customersÂ’ requirements.
The Engineering Division of the Chamberlin & Hill Group currently comprises Fred Duncombe Limited and Petrel LTD.
