The Bradken foundry in Hillside Rd, South Dunedin. Bradken could shut its Dunedin foundry by the end of the year — affecting almost 40 workers — but staff may have to get through a lot of work in the meantime. Bradken has not declared emphatically that the Hillside Rd foundry will close. Chief executive Simon Linge said Bradken would focus on the mining sector and move away from being a diversified manufacturing company. Thirty-seven staff work at the Hillside Rd foundry and two more employees are sales people in Christchurch.
