Hazelett Corporation designs, manufactures, installs, and services continuous casting equipment. Hazelett is the pioneer and world leader in twin-belt casting for flat and long nonferrous products. Hazelett is a fourth generation family-owned company and the exclusive supplier of the Hazelett® twin-belt continuous casting machine.

The company is fully vertically integrated with complete in-house engineering, research and development, and manufacturing.

With over 140 employees, the company is engaged in research, engineering, design, testing, and the manufacture of twin-belt casters, foundry products, and spare parts.

Hazelett is a strong partner for the nonferrous metals producer:

• World leader in designing and manufacturing advanced twin-belt strip casters
• Decades of experience producing continuously cast metal strip and bar
• In depth understanding of molten metal treatment and rolling technology
• Market leading process automation capability
• Experienced R&D team actively working on improvements of the casting process

Today, over 30% of all copper wire produced in the world comes from Hazelett casting machines operating in 26 countries. In Europe, where zinc roofing is commonplace, virtually 100% of the zinc sheet is cast on Hazelett strip-casters operating in France and Germany. In North America, aluminum sheet reigns as the metal of the future, and the Hazelett® twin-belt caster is actively involved with much of that production.

Markets: Continuous Metal Casting Industry and Foundry Products. The Hazelett twin-belt continuous strip and bar metal casting machines produce semi-fabricated cast and rolled products such as aluminum sheet and copper rod. Foundry products include metal pumps, dosing systems, and heated transfer pipes. Hazelett builds machines for the metals industry but is not a metals producer.
