Lawton Hanover currently has production capacity available for select projects and is an especially good fit for
gray and ductile iron castings in the 500–1,500 lb range.
Our full casting capabilities span 150–5,000 lbs, including complex, highly cored castings produced through our air-set, no-bake process.
Whether you’re evaluating a new supplier, adding a second source, or managing changing production schedules,
we’d be glad to review your project requirements.
Lawton Hanover is Lawton Standard’s Pennsylvania iron foundry, formerly known as Penn-Mar Castings. The facility produces gray and ductile iron castings for customers who need a foundry partner capable of handling complex geometries, multiple cores, and demanding specifications without losing sight of lead time, service, or consistency.
Located in Hanover, PA, this foundry serves a range of industrial markets and is especially well-suited for applications in refrigeration and air conditioning, pumps and compressors, electric motors, mechanical power transmission, marine, and blacksmithing-related products. As part of The Lawton Standard Co. family, Hanover gives customers access to broader casting resources while maintaining the responsiveness and technical focus of a specialized operation.
When castings are complex, timelines matter, and machining or downstream operations leave little room for error, buyers need more than melt capacity. They need a foundry that can produce repeatable results and solve problems early.
Lawton Hanover is built for that work, with strengths that include:
Lawton Hanover manufactures gray and ductile iron castings ranging from 150 to 5,000 pounds and is especially well suited for medium- to large-scale castings requiring multiple cores, precision, and repeatability. The foundry can produce 1,000 net tons per month and supports production runs ranging from 1 to 200 pieces.
Lawton Hanover combines foundry experience with tools that help reduce risk before castings reach machining, assembly, or final use. The facility offers engineering, design, tooling, and pattern support, along with rapid prototyping, inspection, and lab capabilities to support customer specifications and process consistency.
Quality and process-control resources highlighted by Hanover include:
Hanover’s capabilities continue to expand. The facility now has its own in-house pattern shop, created to improve self-sufficiency, reduce dependence on outside scheduling, accelerate repairs, and provide customers with a more streamlined experience. For buyers, that means better control over pattern work and a more efficient path from tooling support to production.
Hanover is part of The Lawton Standard Co., giving customers access to a broader U.S. network for iron and steel castings, machining, and related support. That network advantage helps simplify sourcing while preserving the personal service and foundry expertise buyers expect from a specialized operation.
Lawton Hanover supports OEMs and industrial manufacturers that need gray or ductile iron castings for demanding equipment and component applications. Current industry focus areas include:
