The steel anchors supplied range weigh between 4.5kg and 5.5 tonne and include both non-magnetic and magnetic anchors, which require sophisticated metallurgical processes and control which Bonds Foundry can offer.
A spokesperson from the MOD said: "The UK Ministry of Defence is pleased to confirm the award of the contract for the supply, repair and support of anchors fitted to Royal Navy surface ships and submarines to Bonds Foundry.
"The contract won in competition, extends the long and very successful association the company has developed with the maritime equipment systems project team and its forerunner, the Warship Support Agency, in supporting the Royal Navy in this vitally important area of specialist support."
Bonds Foundry director, Mike Best said: "Supplying and restoring anchors for the Royal Navy is a great privilege for Bonds Foundry having also supplied parts for the new Type 45 destroyers and the aircraft carriers, which are now under construction.
"We pride ourselves on our technical capabilities and competitiveness and are pleased to be supplying British-made anchors."
Bonds Foundry specialises in high integrity castings for the power, oil and gas, marine/offshore and construction sectors, in a wide range of materials for the international market. Asmet has supplied a range of Ferro Alloys to Bonds Foundry for over six years.
