About Farrar Corporation
Our History
Farrar Corporation began in 1933 as a blacksmith and repair shop. The green sand foundry was added in 1967 as a way to make our own castings and then grew to the point that Farrar dropped its own product line to focus only on providing cast and machined parts to O.E.M. customers. In the early 1990’s, Farrar began producing Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) in addition to the standard ASTM grades of Ductile Iron. Farrar is a family-owned/privately held corporation that is currently in its third generation of ownership. Through the years we have grown into a nationally recognized company known for our service, specializing in providing finish machined ductile iron castings and assemblies. Farrar Corporation is your single source for pattern design and production throughout the continental United States.
Mission Statement
Farrar Corporation will uphold its legacy of providing exceptional value through our supplying of quality ductile iron castings with the value-added services of machining, annealing, and assembly. Our vertical integration will ensure support, accuracy, and efficiency for any project from concept through shipment.
Vision Statement
By providing unequaled support, service, and care for our employees, shareholders, clients, and vendors, Farrar Corporation will set the manufacturing standard for innovation, efficiency, quality and delivery of ductile iron castings.
