Table of Contents
If you or a loved one worked at Oberdorfer Foundry on Thompson Road, in Syracuse, New York, and have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer, you may be eligible for compensation. Many industrial and manufacturing workplaces across New York used asbestos-containing materials throughout much of the twentieth century, which placed workers at risk even if they did not handle asbestos directly.
Our attorneys investigate work sites throughout the state of New York and can help determine whether yours or your loved ones’ exposure may be connected to time spent at Oberdorfer Foundry or other industrial facilities in the region.
Company Overview
Oberdorfer Foundry operated as a metal casting and foundry business near Syracuse in the Town of DeWitt, Onondaga County, New York. It primary function was to cast aluminum and brass items used in engine assemblies. It also manufactured small centrifugal pumps. Regular operations included sand molding, core making, metal melting, pouring, cleaning, and machining. The company operated during the height of asbestos use in the United States, meaning asbestos-containing materials were commonly used in insulation, equipment, and building construction throughout the facility. Oberdorfer was founded in 1875 and opened the Thompson Road plant in 1919. The plant closed in 2013 when Oberdorfer declared bankruptcy.
Individuals who worked in furnace operation, maintenance, repair, or other foundry positions may have been exposed to asbestos-containing materials.
Potential Exposure in Industrial Settings
Workers in foundry and metalworking settings faced exposure to asbestos from:
- Insulation on furnaces, boilers, piping, and heating systems
- Refractory materials used in furnaces, kilns, and molds
- Gaskets, packing, and seals in pumps, valves, or other industrial equipment
- Dust from older building materials during maintenance or renovation
Exposure often occurred through routine tasks such as operating furnaces, repairing or maintaining equipment, cleaning work areas, or simply working near others who handled asbestos-containing products.
If you worked at Oberdorfer Foundry and developed mesothelioma or lung cancer, it is important to discuss your work history with an attorney experienced in asbestos cases.
Health Risks
Asbestos exposure can lead to serious illnesses, including:
- Mesothelioma
- Lung cancer
- Asbestosis and other respiratory diseases
These conditions often develop decades after the initial exposure, meaning individuals who worked in foundry settings or other industrial jobs many years ago may only now be receiving a diagnosis.
