Building on a legacy of innovation
“For more than a century, Simpson has built its reputation on engineering excellence and customer partnership. We are expanding that legacy with a renewed focus on digital transformation, smarter process control, and sustainable foundry solutions.”
“Innovation has always been at the heart of Simpson. Our goal is to continue developing technologies that make foundries more efficient, more connected, and more environmentally responsible. This vision builds on Simpson’s strengths – proven equipment, deep industry knowledge, and a global network of customers and partners – while driving toward the future.”

Norican Group company Simpson’s Senior Vice President John Jennings says: “Simpson is entering a new era of transformation – one focused on advancing innovation, sustainability, and global growth.”
Driving sustainable foundry practices
“Sustainability is no longer optional; it’s essential to modern manufacturing. Simpson is leading the charge with technologies like the Simpson Pro-Claim® sand reclamation system, which helps foundries reclaim sand, reduce waste, and lower disposal costs, while maintaining sand quality.
By integrating systems like the Simpson Multi-Cooler®, Hartley® control systems, and Monitizer® IIoT platform, Simpson empowers foundries to track, measure, and optimise performance in real time – delivering both environmental and economic value.”
“Sustainability and productivity go hand in hand. When we help our customers use fewer resources and reduce waste, we’re not only protecting the planet, we are improving their bottom line.”
Expanding global growth
“Simpson’s vision also includes strategic global growth, continuing to strengthen collaboration across our teams in North America, Europe, India, and Asia. With expanded manufacturing and service capabilities, Simpson is positioned to deliver localised support and faster response times for customers around the world.”
“Our growth strategy is built around being closer to our customers,” Jennings says. “That means listening carefully, responding quickly, and investing in the people and technologies that help them succeed.”
A shared vision for the future
“Simpson is building on its long tradition of excellence with a renewed focus on progress. By aligning innovation, sustainability, and growth, Simpson is not just adapting to change – we’re driving it, helping foundries around the world operate more efficiently and build a stronger, more sustainable future,” said Jennings.
