The Little Giant of American Brass
A fifth-generation, family-owned foundry and machine shop that has been pouring precision brass and bronze in Tooele, Utah for over a century.
A Century in the Same Family
State Brass Foundry & Machine opened in 1919 and never left the family. Five generations later, we're still standing over the same kind of furnaces, pouring the same honest brass and bronze that earned us the nickname “The Little Giant” — a small shop that consistently punches above its weight.
We do something most foundries can't: cast, machine, and finish a part all under one roof. That means tighter tolerances, faster turnarounds, and a single team accountable for your part from molten metal to finished piece.
- Sand casting from ounces to hundreds of pounds
- Centrifugal casting for bushings, sleeves, and rings
- 90+ brass, bronze, and specialty alloys
- In-house CNC and manual machining
- Pattern making and pattern repair
- Finishing, polishing, and inspection
Built on Old-Fashioned Values

A century of hard-won knowledge in every pour, from alloy selection to the final polish.
No Job Too Small
Single restoration pieces to ongoing production runs — we treat every order like it matters, because it does.
American-Made
