In 1951 Dixon Valve Corporation purchased a small ferrous foundry located in scenic Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Buck Iron, as it was then known produced only malleable iron until 1953 when a non ferrous foundry was added enabling the production of brass, bronze and aluminum marine hardware castings. During the 1950's and 60's Buck Iron grew and added additional space for molding, core making and cleaning. Along the way its reputation as a quality supplier grew as well. In 1970 a new gray and ductile foundry was completed featuring an eight station pallet line.
