About Royersford Foundry & Machine
Royersford Foundry & Machine Co., Inc. was founded on June 11, 1890, as the Royersford Machine Company, with foundry operations added in 1896. The company was incorporated under its current name on February 1, 1904, and has operated continuously from its Royersford, Pennsylvania facility for well over a century.
The company was originally formed to produce power transmission products, including shafting in many sizes and styles up to 6 inches in diameter, and later expanded into machine tools in the early 1900s. During World War II, Royersford operated at full capacity to produce more than 2,000 drill presses installed on Navy ships, demonstrating the depth of its machining capabilities.
The company has weathered significant setbacks, including a 1951 fire that destroyed a large portion of its foundry operations and a 1972 flood from Hurricane Agnes that submerged the foundry and machine shop basement, resuming operations within two months and one month respectively each time.
