With a focus on continuous improvement, we ensure castings that meet demanding specifications—on time and to standard.
Lawton Anniston, formerly Renaissance Manufacturing Group (RMG), is a ductile iron foundry with a legacy rooted in operational excellence and a commitment to reinvestment in people, processes, and equipment. Now part of The Lawton Standard Co., we continue to serve our customers with the same dedication—enhancing our capabilities through shared values, modern technology, and expanded resources. We take pride in tailoring solutions to meet specific volume, cost, and engineering requirements while maintaining transparent communication and a customer-first mindset.
Our Anniston facility traces its foundry roots back to 1896 and has served the transportation and heavy equipment industries for generations. From its early days under government control during World War II to becoming part of International Harvester and later Navistar, the site has evolved alongside the industry itself. As Lawton Anniston, we carry that legacy forward—combining historical strength with forward-thinking innovation to deliver exceptional castings and long-term value for our customers and employees alike.
