Marine Manifolds & Castings

Designed For Your Demands

Thompson Industries was established in 1963 as a visionary solution to a problem. Founder Wally Thompson had built a very complex pattern for a fully marinized engine manifold for a boat racing project with the expectation he would take it to a local foundry for production. He learned the hard way that nobody in the region had the ability to manufacture such a detailed casting, and so from the ashes of this challenge a new foundry arose. By the 1970’s, word had travelled and TF was working directly with Chrysler Marine producing marinized versions of 4 & 6 cylinder Nissan and Mitsubishi manifolds for the global market. Thompson Foundry still supports a number of relevant models that have withstood the test of time, and have shipped to customers anywhere from Malaysia to the South of France. Along with manifold assemblies, TF also casts general marine components in iron, stainless & alloy steel.
