HISTORY

As an integrated manufacturing company A. G. Anderson Limited operates three divisions.  The Pattern Division specializes in the manufacture of wood, metal and plastic patterns for the foundry industry.  The Foundry Division specializes in the manufacture of pressure retaining components in a wide variety of alloys including such diverse materials as heat and corrosion resistant stainless steel, carbon steel, Ni-hard, Ni-resist and ductile iron.  The Machining Division specializes in the machining of cast components.

Looking back …. 

Alan Anderson emigrated from England as a young master wood patternmaker and started his one man pattern shop in 1948 in a small building at 1178 Francis Street in London.  Business quickly grew and after one expansion, the company relocated to 99 Oakside Street (formerly 1180 Oxford Street, Rear).

The company quickly established a reputation for making very large patterns for hydroelectric power generation, steel mills and resource processing equipment.  In 1963, after one expansion, the company relocated to its present location at 3040 Osler Street.  The Osler Street facility has had eight expansions over the past three decades.  In 1968 a small foundry was started to provide cast-to-size tooling for the metal pattern market.  In 1979, 1991 and in 2001 the company expanded, quadrupling the size of the foundry operation.  A machining division was started in 1993 to provide machined cast components which closed the production loop and established A. G. Anderson Ltd. as a single-source provider.
