Since 1925, Reliance Foundry has built upon a long tradition of metal casting expertise to become an award winning supplier for high-profile and everyday needs across North America.Reliance Foundry was first incorporated by four foundry workers in 1925. It grew to become Vancouver's largest working foundry fulfilling contracts for municipal authorities and companies in the mining and forestry industries. During World War Il, employees worked 48 hours per week, casting 10 tons of metal per day to supply parts for the Allied forces' war effort. In 1966, a fire at the original Vancouver site forced the company to relocate to a new location in Surrey. By the 1990s, Reliance Foundry began outsourcing production to increase the range of offered products and expand beyond regional services to become a continental supplier.
