The Bradken U.S. foundries are subsidiaries of Bradken Ltd., an Australian firm, which is a subsidiary of Hitachi Construction Machinery. The Tacoma foundry (acquired by Bradken in 2008) produces high-yield steel castings used by the U.S. Navy's primary contractors to fabricate submarine hulls. The DoJ's court filings stipulate that the Tacoma foundry had for 30 years produced castings that had failed lab tests and did not meet the Navy’s standards for steel strength and toughness.
The filings further allege that the foundry's former director of metallurgy Elaine Thomas falsified test results in over 200 case to hide the fact that the steel had failed tests to confirm the quality standard. As part of the deferred prosecution agreement, Bradken admitted these allegations.
