With origins dating back over a century to the historic Hope Works Company, Vaughans (Hope Works) Lye has grown into one of the industry’s foremost suppliers. This legacy has been further strengthened through the acquisition of two renowned names in British craftsmanship: E. Partridge & Sons – Craftsmanship Since 1865, proudly acquired in 2026, and William Foxall – Precision Since 1951, acquired in 2021. These additions have expanded our expertise, enriched our product range, and reinforced our commitment to quality.

Our website is continually updated to offer one of the widest selections of both traditional and modern Foundry Equipment, Foundry Ladles, and Blacksmiths’ and Tinsmiths’ tools—all at competitive prices. We manufacture ladles in a variety of materials, tailored to meet the specific requirements of each customer.
