| RE: | REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-3, FILED JUNE 25, 2010 (FILE NO. 333-167788) FORM RW — APPLICATION FOR WITHDRAWAL |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Ladish Co., Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (the “Registrant”), hereby applies, pursuant to
477(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to withdraw the
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-167788) (the “Registration Statement”).
The Registration Statement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on
June 25, 2010 and was not declared effective by the SEC.
The Registrant is requesting the withdrawal of the Registration Statement because the
Registrant will no longer be a publicly traded company and does not intend to sell any of its
securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. No securities have been sold or will be sold
pursuant to the Registration Statement.
Accordingly, the Registrant hereby respectfully requests that an order granting the withdrawal
of the Registration Statement be issued by the SEC as soon as reasonably possible.
If you have any questions regarding this application for withdrawal, please do not hesitate to
contact Mark T. Plichta at Foley & Lardner LLP, at (414) 297-5670.
| Sincerely, LADISH CO., INC. |
