	Adonis Bronze began as Professional Fine Art Castings Inc. in 1986 located at 390 West 800 North in Orem, Utah. Three brothers, Gary, Brian and Steve Streadbeck worked hard in their efforts to create an artist’s foundry. Steve, a beginning sculptor himself, was frustrated in the approach of many foundries’ lack of willingness to give artists assistance. Adonis Bronze was created in the hope of giving support in all facets of bronze sculpture production at an affordable cost and in a timely manner.

	After the company’s early beginning the name was changed and shortened to "Adonis Bronze" in an effort to give a link to our world’s culturally rich past in the sculptural arts. Adonis Bronze merged with Wasatch Bronze of Lehi in 1990 and added a new partner Dennis Smith. The foundry was moved from Orem to Alpine in 1998 where it is presently located. The foundry has gained national reputation and has created works known and admired around the world.
