Ampco Metal India Pvt Ltd

Early in 1914 a small group of entrepreneurs met to discuss an exciting discovery: “a new bronze hard enough to cut steel”. On June 6th, 1914, the inventor, August Littman, with other entrepreneurs, formed the American Metal Products Company. The product was to be called AMPCO® Bronze, a name derived from the initials of the Company. The trademark selected was a diamond and the alloy was made through a secret process known only to a select few. Success took some time to come but by the early 30s, AMPCO® had achieved a recognized leadership in the production of aluminium bronze alloys as sand castings, centrifugal castings and forgings. The American Metal Products Company, renamed in 1930 AMPCO METAL. had built a reputation as a reliable producer of consistent quality. World War II created heavy demand for the production of copper-based alloys and the value of industrial bronzes was recognized more and more, primarily in the aircraft field.
