Lofthouse, a privately held Canadian company, has been solving tough engineering issues since 1957. Their business is based on the values of their founder, George Lofthouse: to take on difficult jobs, to solve the problems, and to build strong relationships with customers. These are the values, which define the company, the values at the heart of their success and the cornerstone of their customer relationships.  

Lofthouse produces non-ferrous forgings – specifically; brass, aluminum, copper and bronze, for a number of North American industries, including plumbing, automotive, hardware, medical, HVAC and solenoid markets. They not only press the metal for you, they are part of the entire process: from developing concepts, through engineering and production, to creating a product that keeps you at the forefront of your market.

Lofthouse also offers custom machining for other manufacturers who require precise tolerances and finishing, which are beyond their capabilities.

Forging may be what some people call a mature technology, but Lofthouse has been able to see the potential to move ahead swiftly, competitively and technologically. This foresight has enabled Lofthouse to provide a superior product in a globally influenced market. The sound of thundering presses is one of the steps in a process that starts with a creative vision and ends with fully automated manufacturing cells.

In 1994, their plant in Burks Falls, Ontario became the first of its kind in North America to become ISO-9002 certified, with the Whitby facility following soon after. They have over 100,000 square feet of manufacturing and office space, with the ability to expand. Keeping an eye on the future is key to their success, as well as their customers’.

Their company culture is one that fosters continual learning. They encourage their employees to be both responsible and accountable, qualities that are at the heart of what defines their company.
