Harrison Steel Casting

What Harrison Steel Casting does

Harrison Steel Castings Company is a privately held, family-owned steel foundry founded in 1906 in Attica, Indiana, operating a 700,000-square-foot manufacturing facility that produces precision-engineered carbon and low/medium alloy steel castings ranging from 400 to 18,000 pounds net casting weight. The company serves seven end markets — agriculture, heavy equipment and construction, oil and gas, mining, military and defense, energy and power generation, and forestry — acting as a Tier 1 casting supplier to enterprise OEMs worldwide. Its offering is vertically integrated across five service modules: engineering (Magmasoft 3D simulation, Creo Parametric, JmatPro materials simulation), manufacturing and production (three electric arc furnaces with acid and basic melting, phenolic urethane molding, heat treatment), in-house rough and finish machining (tolerances from ±0.75mm to ±0.015mm using Mazak and 5-axis centers), quality control (Six Sigma with 13 Black Belts, comprehensive NDT including ultrasonic, radiographic, magnetic particle, and penetrant testing, plus EDXRF), and material capabilities spanning ASTM A27, A36, A148, A487, and specialty alloys. The patented manufacturing process and proprietary shroud pouring technology are cited as production differentiators.

The business model is direct B2B enterprise sales on a quote-based, project-by-project basis. Customers engage through a 'Get a Quote' workflow, and the sales motion emphasizes collaborative engineering, design support, and Tier 1 supplier relationships with long qualification cycles. Revenue is generated primarily from one-time casting and machining orders, augmented by quality control and testing services bundled into project delivery. The company is currently led by fourth-generation family member Geoff Curtis as VP and General Manager, and operates with a non-union workforce. There is no disclosed revenue, no external institutional investors, and no M&A activity in the source material; growth has been organic, funded through operational cash flow with $23 million+ reinvested in facility improvements since 2019. The company maintains ISO 9001:2015 certification and recycles more than 50,000 tons of scrap steel annually.

Emerging players

• Haynes International: Haynes produces high-performance alloys and specialty castings for aerospace, chemical processing, and industrial gas turbines — partial overlap in alloy-steel casting and machining, with greater emphasis on higher-end corrosion- and heat-resistant alloys.

Direct peers

• Eagle Alloy: Eagle Alloy is a U.S. steel foundry producing carbon, alloy, and stainless steel castings for industrial and OEM customers. Comparable custom-engineered casting model, ferrous metallurgy focus, and Tier 1 supply relationships.
• Waupaca Foundry: Waupaca is one of the largest U.S. iron and steel foundries serving automotive, heavy equipment, and industrial markets with vertically integrated casting and machining — directly comparable in scale, customer-segment overlap, and Tier 1 supplier positioning.
• Metaltek International: Metaltek is a North American group of foundries producing steel, alloy, and high-alloy castings for industrial, defense, and energy customers — directly comparable in terms of alloy-steel casting capabilities, custom engineered components, and B2B project quoting model.
• Sivyer Steel Castings: Sivyer is a U.S. steel foundry (Iowa-based) producing carbon and low-alloy steel castings for heavy equipment, mining, and military applications — a very close peer in size, footprint, end markets, and project-based B2B foundry operation.
