About Us

Due to the fact that that Mr GE Robins was away from home so often for work he started a small pattern shop in the garage of his home. This was done 30 Years Ago!

Mr GE Robins had qualified as a pattern maker who had been working at Auto Patterns and was ambitious to provide well for his young family. The beginning with most start-up businesses was tough but, with hard work and perseverance the small business started to grow from strength to strength.

He decided to move the premises to Boundary Road and started selling castings as a middle man. This small expansion allowed him over time to save

money. He was not able to provide castings quick enough to his customers. He made the decision to then take the big risk of opening up a Foundry at

our current premises in Sallies Village, Brakpan. There have been a lot of trials and tribulations but the Foundry has grown as a

result of hard work from the employees and management. In 2004 GE Robins’ son CL Robins started working there. After some years of experience he

started running the business. He is now the owner and has the same passion to provide for his family as his father did.


The road has been tough but, with the well run family business built on the foundation of trust and honesty it has been well worth it. Working together we now provide a full range of services from patternmaking, castings to final machining.
