Hodge Foundry’s deep roots in traditional energy markets and our unique manufacturing capabilities—including our distinguished track record and proven expertise in producing extremely large, metallurgically-demanding castings—have made our entry into the renewable energy markets a natural fit.

Wind Power

In the rapidly growing area of wind power, we supply our customers with mission-critical components such as wind hubs, bedplates and gearbox housings, along with other complex cast components. Large iron castings such as these, manufactured to demanding specifications and requiring impeccable metallurgy, are our specialty.

Hodge has experience in the production of castings for wind turbines ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 MW, which can measure more than 15 feet in dimension and exceed 40,000 lbs. As ever-larger second- and third-generation turbines move from the drawing board to reality (3.0 MW+), Hodge’s unique manufacturing capabilities will enable us to keep pace with the global wind industry.

Hydropower

In the hydropower industry, our foundry expertise and size capabilities can be brought to bear on a number of challenging casting applications, including sluice gates, turbine head covers, gate barrels and other related components weighing up to 100 tons.
