Foundation bolts for $4.1 billion aluminium recycling and rolling facility in North America

Brooks Forgings specialises in hot-forged bolting solutions in the UK. Our tooling allows us to make a wide variety of products, such as DIN 7992, DIN 261, and SN425 hammerheads, as well as the full range of DIN 529 foundation bolts.

We can produce both hammerhead T-bolts and various foundation bolts up to M100 in diameter and 6 meters in length.

Recently, we were contacted about a new project in North America, requiring the production of hammerhead T-bolts to the SN425 specification, along with foundation bolts to DIN 529 Type A, meeting project-specific requirements.

The project is for a company that specialises in aluminium rolling and recycling, producing low-carbon, high-recycled-content rolled aluminium sheets. Their new facility, once completed, will be the first new integrated aluminium rolling and recycling plant built in the U.S. in nearly 40 years.
