A Brief History of
IPC Foundry Group - Texas
Highland Lakes
Highland Lakes, a Texas-based casting business, was established in 1975 by the dedicated husband and wife team of Bo and Bonnie Frankie. With a history spanning approximately 45 years, the company initially specialized in providing castings to oil customers throughout Texas and its neighboring states. Their commitment to delivering high-quality castings and their strong industry presence made Highland Lakes a respected name in the field.
The IPC Foundry Group
In mid-2022, Bo and Bonnie Frankie made the strategic decision to pass the torch to the IPC Foundry Group, a move intended to secure the legacy of their business. Despite the change in ownership, the management team, boasting decades of industry expertise, remained in place, ensuring continuity and a smooth transition. IPC Foundry Group wasted no time investing significant funds into the Marble Falls facility, modernizing production processes, expanding job opportunities, and diversifying the range of industries served. This transformation was part of a larger effort to foster growth and adapt to evolving market demands. By the end of 2023, Highland Lakes Quality Casting had officially transformed into IPC Foundry Group - Texas, marking the next chapter in the company's journey.
Under new leadership and with substantial investment, the company is poised to not only uphold its reputation for quality castings but also to embrace new opportunities and challenges in an ever-evolving industrial landscape.
