Lawton Novi Expands Wear-Resistant Steel Casting Capabilities

Lawton Novi manufactures high-performance Damascus Steel castings designed to withstand the most demanding wear and abrasion conditions. Known for producing piercer points, guard shoes, hammers, and other critical components, the facility serves customers across the seamless tube, forging, and steel recycling industries.

These products originated with Damascus Steel Casting Company, a legacy brand founded in 1906 in New Brighton, Pennsylvania. For over a century, Damascus Steel earned its reputation for metallurgical excellence in severe-service applications.

Damascus was acquired by The Lawton Standard Company in April 2020 and later integrated into the Novi, Michigan location. Today, Lawton Novi continues to deliver the same trusted Damascus products while offering enhanced service and innovation as part of the Lawton Standard family.
