Ballantine Bo’ness Iron Co has a rich and expansive history of metalwork in the UK and beyond. Having started up in the early 1820s, we became formally established in 1856, and have been in continuous production ever since. For the entire period the foundry has been owned and run by the Ballantine family and is now in its 7th generation. The foundry still employs just under 100 full time metalworkers.

As a general iron foundry we have supplied the construction and engineering industries with tens of thousands of different castings. Although we have proactively responded to the vast cultural and economic shifts over the last 200 years, by changing our product lines and areas of expertise, our core ideologies and mission statement have stayed the same since the day we were founded.

Simply put; we have built up a solid reputation for combining the most intricate and traditional craftsmanship skills with the most advanced, modern engineering techniques. For this reason Ballantine Bo’ness Iron co has, for the last two centuries, been one of Britain’s foremost producer of architectural, ornamental and structural ironwork in the UK and beyond. We have the same passion and pride in the quality of the work we produce today as we did when we first started. Please feel free to view our management team on the right hand side of this page.
