Who We Are

Founded in 1983, General Foundries, Inc. (GFI) began with a simple premise: to produce high-quality castings and deliver dependable service. More than four decades later, that same focus—strengthened by long-standing partnerships, expanded capabilities, and a disciplined approach to execution—continues to define who we are.

We partner with customers over the long term to support municipal and infrastructure projects across both the public and private sectors nationwide. We combine deep industry experience with the operational flexibility required to meet evolving project demands, while maintaining a strong focus on consistency, accountability, and performance.

Over the years, our reputation has come to reflect not only the quality of our products, but also our commitment to reliable delivery, clear communication, and accountability on every order. Through thoughtful expansion and long-term partnerships, we have grown beyond our original import-focused roots—broadening our product portfolio and strengthening our operational capabilities.

In 2016, GFI launched its in-house fabrication facility, marking a meaningful expansion of our capabilities. What started as one project has evolved into a full-scale operation that supports integrated solutions, improved quality control, and greater adaptability for a wide range of infrastructure needs.
