About Us
Kelly Foundry, Plaques, & Designs, LLC was founded for began operations  as a gas valve manufacturer in 1891. It was the  recipient of several United States Patents for their design of these valves. Headquartered in Utica, New York, Kelly Foundry had offices in San Francisco, Boston, and New York City. Since that time as a family owned business, we have evolved into a manufacturer of high quality custom aluminum and bronze plaques, letters, grave markers, historical markers, logos, and architectural and industrial castings.

The plaques are used for building identification, dedication, recognition, and memorials. These plaques are cast with the highest quality materials by craftsmen with years of experience in the art of molding and melting metal, to form a wonderful masterpiece filled with color and beauty. The plaques may also be used as historical markers to identify the birthplace of a person, a historic event or building, and to remember the past.  

A full line of architectural letters can be supplied in many different styles and sizes in aluminum and bronze, with painted, satin, and polished finishes. Architectural letters can be placed on the exteriors of buildings, on office doors and walls, and on any other location you might have.

Recent products added to our capabilities include water jet cutting of stainless steel, bronze, and aluminum, etching bronze, aluminum, and stainless steel, and memorial statuary.
