Our Past |
| |
C & L Aluminum Foundry, Inc. was founded in Fort Worth
Texas in 1956 by Carl & Lee Killman. The building they
occupied at that time had formerly been a neighborhood
Washateria.
The company was then incorporated and purchased
by Gordon Killman in 1969. In 1989 it expanded to better
equip itself for the ever increasing demands of its growing
customer base. This expansion included a new metal building
for the molding and furnace department, which now housed the
new overhead sand system with semi-automated programmable
logic control panels.
The company was then purchased by Gary
Ferguson in 1998, where it remained owned and operated until
his death 2011. C & L Aluminum Foundry, Inc. was then
operated by Tim Schulz until its acquisition
In May of 2013 by Schulz Family Properties,
Inc. |

| Experience |
| |
| C & L has been in business since 1956 producing military grade
castings which require nondestructive testing certified to
ASTM specifications. Our commercial grade castings follow
the same quality standards and processes, minus the
certifications. All of which could not be achievable without
years of metal casting experience. Our president of
operations will be entering his 20th year in the aluminum
sand casting industry and our production has a department
wide average of 18-1/2 years, all at C & L.
