At Meloon Foundries, we’ve been shaping metal—and trust—for over 85 years. Our story is deeply connected to something bigger: the Evans Industries Inc. family of companies. Together, we share a commitment to engineering excellence and innovation that stretches back more than a century.
Our Shared History
Evans Industries Inc. grew out of the historic Evans Products Company, a major NYSE-listed firm in the early 1900s that supplied automotive transportation systems and building materials. In 1955, Robert Beverley Evans, Sr. spun off Evans Industries to focus on specialized engineered products—a vision that continues under Robert B. Evans, Jr. and William Martin today (eiihq.com).
This isn’t just corporate history—it’s the foundation of our brand power. It means stability. It means an enduring commitment to quality. And it means every foundry in our group is driven by a common purpose: to engineer products that perform, endure, and lead.
The Evans Industries Foundry Family
We’re proud to stand alongside some of the most respected names in the industry:
Ball Brass & Aluminum Foundry
For over 75 years, Ball Brass has delivered precision brass, bronze, and aluminum castings for pumps, valves, and industrial applications. They’re known for quick-turn, short-run excellence with a focus on service (ballbrass.com).
Safe-T-Metal
For 50+ years, Safe-T-Metal has set the standard for non-slip safety solutions—abrasive cast stair nosings, thresholds, and detectable warnings for the most demanding environments (safetmetal.com).
Why This Matters
Brand power isn’t just about a name—it’s about what stands behind it: heritage, innovation, and trust built over decades. At Meloon, we bring these values to life in every casting we produce—whether it’s an intricate aluminum alloy component or a copper-based solution designed for performance and reliability.
As part of Evans Industries, we’re not just making castings. We’re forging the future of American manufacturing.
