Leth Iron

LETH IRON was established in 1898 in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada as a metalworking business providing many services to the burgeoning coal mining industry in Lethbridge. Over the past century the company has narrowed its scope of business, becoming an industry leader as a jobbing iron foundry supplying iron castings to various customer segments throughout North America.

Still located in Lethbridge after more than 120 years, the company currently operates a modern production foundry of over 110,000 square feet on 7 acres in the city's industrial park. The facility was constructed in 1975 and has been expanded 6 times since. Numerous capital projects have been undertaken, outfitting the foundry with modern, automated high production equipment in all departments. An ISO 9001 Certified Quality Assurance Program ensures castings consistently exceed customer specifications.
