In 1949, Sir Kenneth Luke formed a joint venture in the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia with UK Brass Component Manufacturer J.W. Singer.

After developing the largest capacity for non-ferrous forging in the southern hemisphere, the company looked off-shore to its future markets. Forgecast was formed in 1995/6 by a group of senior executives to purchase the company from the Email Westinghouse group of companies. Since then, forgecast has developed a new manufacturing facility in Tijuana, Mexico to support its growing market in North America.

Over the 53 years of manuafcturing, Forgecast has produced 4500 different forgings and retains a proud reputation as a high quality contract forging company around the world.
