Leading the Industry for Over 60 Years
Spartan Light Metal Products have been producing complex engineering solutions for over 60 years.
In 1961, Spartan Light Metal Products was founded by Henry Jubel in Sparta, IL.
Sparta, IL., home of the company’s first foundry and what is now one of Spartan’s four flagship engineering and manufacturing facilities.
In 1978, Spartan developed B390 wear-resistant aluminum alloy and soon became the first company in North America to offer commercial magnesium die-cast products.
Today, Spartan has become the go-to expert in light-weight die-casting and specializes in tackling complex engineering challenges to deliver the highest quality products for leading manufacturing companies around the world.
