Excel Foundry & Machine

What Excel Foundry & Machine does

Excel Foundry & Machine is a US-based manufacturer of aftermarket replacement parts and provider of maintenance services for mining and aggregate equipment, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FLSmidth A/S (NASDAQ Copenhagen: FLS) since 2006. Founded in 1929 in Pekin, Illinois as Excel Brass & Machine, the company initially produced small brass bushings before pivoting in the 1970s to bronze wear parts for the active mining industry in the US Midwest; it has since expanded into a full-line supplier of replacement parts for cone crushers, gyratory crushers, draglines, electric rope shovels, hydraulic excavators, and trunnion ball mills, with documented compatibility across Metso, Sandvik, Symons, Nordberg, Allis-Chalmers, Svedala, Bucyrus, P&H, Marion, Caterpillar, Hitachi, Terex, and other OEM platforms.

The company's core technology rests on on-site foundry operations using centrifugal casting with high-tin bronze alloys at the upper CDA specification, combined with pinch machining to improve concentricity, and a reverse engineering and destructive testing capability that supports continuous product improvement. Differentiated offerings include the proprietary UltraNut™ jack-bolt locking tensioning system and the UltraBolt™ jack bolt tensioning system, both designed to make liner and mantle changes faster, safer, and more cost-effective than conventional methods. A separate Services portfolio covers inspections, installations, wear life analysis, reverse engineering, component rebuilds, and maintenance planning.

Excel generates revenue through one-time hardware sales of replacement parts and through professional services engagements with large-scale open-pit mining and aggregate operations worldwide. Pricing is quote-based, varies by part, specification, and volume, and is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is enterprise B2B direct sales supported by a global service network and strategically located distribution centers, with lead generation through a bilingual (English/Spanish) corporate website, downloadable product literature, and industry trade shows. The company has 251–500 employees and is headquartered at 1 Excel Way, Pekin, Illinois.

Broad incumbents

• Astec Industries: Astec Industries owns Telsmith and other mining/aggregate equipment brands. As an OEM with an installed base of equipment that Excel services with replacement parts, Astec is both a partner (Excel makes Telsmith-compatible parts) and a competitor in the broader aggregate and mining equipment ecosystem.
• FLSmidth: FLSmidth A/S is Excel's parent company and a global mining-equipment major with overlapping product portfolios in crushers, mills, and comminution equipment. While Excel operates as a subsidiary, FLSmidth's own aftermarket and parts businesses are the closest internal benchmark and adjacent competitor in the broader flowsheet.
• Caterpillar: Caterpillar's surface mining and excavator product lines (including legacy Bucyrus equipment) are directly compatible with Excel's shovel and dragline replacement parts. As both an OEM and a mining services competitor, Caterpillar is a key comparable for Excel's electric rope shovel and hydraulic excavator parts business.
• Kleemann (Wirtgen Group): Kleemann, part of Wirtgen Group (John Deere), manufactures mobile crushing and screening equipment for aggregates and recycling. As an OEM with installed equipment requiring wear parts, Kleemann is adjacent to Excel's aggregate customer base and represents both a competitor and a compatible-brand opportunity.

Direct peers

• Magotteaux: Magotteaux is a global leader in crusher wear parts and grinding media, specializing in high-chromium white iron and ceramic-metal composite solutions. Magotteaux directly competes with Excel in mining wear parts, particularly for grinding mills and crushers.
• ME Elecmetal: ME Elecmetal is a global supplier of grinding media, crusher liners, and wear parts for mining and industrial markets. Its product portfolio directly overlaps with Excel's trunnion ball mill and crusher replacement parts, serving similar large-scale mining operations worldwide.
• Bradken: Bradken is a global manufacturer of consumable wear parts and mill liners for the mining and mineral processing industries. With direct overlap in crusher liners, grinding mill components, and crawler undercarriage parts, Bradken is a closely comparable aftermarket parts specialist to Excel.
• Columbia Steel Casting: Columbia Steel Casting Co. is a US-based manufacturer of replacement wear parts for mining, aggregate, and recycling equipment. Like Excel, Columbia Steel specializes in alloy steel and manganese steel wear parts, serving the same customer base of mine and quarry operators with direct aftermarket competition.
• Metso: Metso is a global leader in mining and aggregates processing equipment and the OEM for several crusher brands (Nordberg, Metso) that Excel reverse-engineers. Metso's aftermarket parts business directly competes with Excel's replacement parts portfolio in cone and gyratory crushers.
• Sandvik: Sandvik's Mining and Rock Solutions division manufactures crushing equipment and replacement wear parts, directly competing with Excel in crusher components for mining and aggregate customers. Sandvik is also one of the OEMs whose parts Excel replicates.
