Goodwin Steel Castings has been accredited by ASME (The American Society for Mechanical Engineers) as a Materials Organisation (MO) to ASME NCA3800 to supply castings for nuclear applications.

Working in partnership with sister machine ship – Goodwin International (GI) – the company is proficient in the supply of finished machined and pressure tested steel and nickel alloy castings. Goodwin was established in 1883 and is retained under common management by the sixth generation of the Goodwin family.

It was the first European foundry to receive accreditation to the ISO9001 quality system (then BS5750), followed by accreditation to the Environmental ISO14001 and Health and Safety OHSAS18001 standards.

The sister machine shop has one of the most comprehensive CNC machining, fabrication, assembly and inspection facilities in Europe.

The group also has an established apprentice school with annual intake being 25 students for the next four-year period.

Along with the ASME Nuclear Quality System Certificate, Goodwin also retains Rolls Royce Nuclear Sector Submarine approval manufacture and machining for steel and nickel alloy castings.

The company has supplied cast components for primary and secondary cooling loops in the form of pumps and valves and also supplied critical duty class one structural components. Often working with tier one suppliers supplying components to propriety military and civil nuclear design such as the AP1000 PWR and Faslane nuclear submarine naval base.

The foundry produces high integrity castings (500-1500kg) using secondary AOD refining and has recently constructed one of the largest CNC sawing facilities (3m x 3m) and radiography facilities (9.5Mev 10 x 10 x 10m) with 70Te lifting capacity in Europe to meet customer nuclear requirements.

Goodwin is partnered with Manchester Univesity (Dalton Nuclear Institute) and Loughborough University (Materials Science) in the advancement of material and engineering practices.
