              INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS

             The document or documents containing the information specified
   in Part I are not required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
   Commission ("Commission") as part of this Form S-8 Registration Statement.


                                     PART II

               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

   Item 3.   Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

             The following documents have been previously filed by Ladish
   Co., Inc. (the "Company") with the Commission and are incorporated herein
   by reference:

             (a)  The Company's latest Prospectus, dated March 9, 1998,
   included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration
   No. 333-43011), filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of
   1933, which includes audited financial statements as of and for the year
   ended December 31, 1997.

             (b)  All other reports filed by the Company pursuant to Section
   13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
   "Exchange Act"), since December 31, 1997.

             (c)  The description of the Company's Common Stock contained in
   Item 1 of the Company's Registration Statement on Form 8-A, dated
   December 23, 1997, with the Commission pursuant to Section 12 of the
   Exchange Act, and any amendments or reports filed for the purpose of
   updating such description.

             All documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to
   Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the  Exchange Act after the date of
   filing of this Registration Statement and prior to such time as the
   Company files a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement
   which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which
   deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be
   incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part
   hereof from the date of filing of such documents.

   Item 4.   Description of Securities.

             Not applicable.

   Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

             Not applicable.

   Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

             The Company is incorporated under the Wisconsin Business
   Corporation Law ("WBCL").  Under Section 180.0851(1) of the WBCL, the
   Company is required to indemnify a director or officer, to the extent that
   such person is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of a
   proceeding, for all reasonable expenses incurred in the proceeding if such
   person was a party because he or she was a director or officer of the
   Company.  In all other cases, the Company is required by
   Section 180.0851(2) to indemnify a director or officer against liability
   incurred in a proceeding to which such a person was a party because he or
   she was a director or officer of the Company, unless it is determined that
   he or she breached or failed to perform a duty owed to the Company and the
   breach or failure to perform constitutes:

             (i)  a willful failure to deal fairly with the Company or
        its shareholders in connection with a matter in which the
        director or officer has a material conflict of interest;

             (ii) a violation of criminal law, unless the director or
        officer had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
        lawful or no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
        unlawful;

             (iii)     a transaction from which the director or officer
        derived an improper personal profit; or

             (iv) willful misconduct.

             Section 180.0858(1) provides that, subject to certain
   limitations, the mandatory indemnification provisions do not preclude any
   additional right to indemnification or allowance of expenses that a
   director or officer may have under the Company's articles of
   incorporation, by-laws, a written agreement or a resolution of the Board
   of Directors or shareholders.

             Section 180.0859 of the WBCL provides that it is the public
   policy of the State of Wisconsin to require or permit indemnification,
   allowance of expenses and insurance to the extent required to be permitted
   under Sections 180.0850 to 180.0858 of the WBCL, for any liability
   incurred in connection with a proceeding involving a federal or state
   statute, rule or regulation regulating the offer, sale or purchase of
   securities.

             Section 180.0828 of the WBCL provides that, with certain
   exceptions, a director is not liable to a corporation, its shareholders,
   or any person asserting rights on behalf of the corporation or its
   shareholders, for damages, settlements, fees, fines, penalties or other
   monetary liabilities arising from a breach of or failure to perform, any
   duty resulting solely from his or her status as a director, unless the
   person asserting liability proves that the breach or failure to perform
   constitutes any of the four exceptions to mandatory indemnification under
   Section 180.0851(2) referred to above.

             Under Section 180.0833 of the WBCL, directors of the Company
   against whom claims are asserted with respect to the declaration of
   improper dividends or distributions to shareholders or certain other
   improper acts which they approved are entitled to contribution from other
   directors who approved such actions and from shareholders who knowingly
   accepted an improper dividend or distribution, as provided therein.

             Article XIII of the By-Laws of the Registrant provides for
   indemnification of directors, to the maximum extent allowed or mandated by
   the laws of the State of Wisconsin and of officers and employees to the
   maximum extent allowed or mandated by the laws of the State of Wisconsin
   except that no indemnification shall be made in respect to any issue or
   matter as to which such officer or employee shall have been adjudged to be
   liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of duty to the
   corporation unless the court in which such action or suit is brought shall
   determine that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
   circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled
   to indemnity for such expenses.

   Item 7.   Exemption from Registration Claimed.

             Not Applicable.

   Item 8.   Exhibits.

             The following exhibits have been filed (except where otherwise
   indicated) as part of this Registration Statement:

    Exhibit No.        Exhibit

        (4)       Ladish Co., Inc. 1996 Long-Term Incentive Plan
        (5)       Opinion of Foley & Lardner
        (23)      Consent of Arthur Andersen LLP
        (24)      Power of Attorney relating to subsequent amendments
                  (included on the signature page to this
                  Registration Statement)

   Item 9.   Undertakings.

             (a)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

             (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
   being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to
   include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
   not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material
   change to such information in the Registration Statement.

             (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
   the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
   deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
   offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
   deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

             (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
   amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at
   the termination of the offering.

             (b)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
   purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
   each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
   Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where
   applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
   pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
   incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed
   to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
   herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
   to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

             (c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
   the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
   controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
   provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
   opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
   against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
   unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
   liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
   or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in
   the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
   such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
   securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of
   its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit
   to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
   indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
   will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

   Co., Inc. (the "Company") with the Commission and are incorporated herein
   by reference:

             (a)  The Company's latest Prospectus, dated March 9, 1998,
   included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration
   No. 333-43011), filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of
   1933, which includes audited financial statements as of and for the year
   ended December 31, 1997.

             (b)  All other reports filed by the Company pursuant to Section
   13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
   "Exchange Act"), since December 31, 1997.

             (c)  The description of the Company's Common Stock contained in
   Item 1 of the Company's Registration Statement on Form 8-A, dated
   December 23, 1997, with the Commission pursuant to Section 12 of the
   Exchange Act, and any amendments or reports filed for the purpose of
   updating such description.

             All documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to
   Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the  Exchange Act after the date of
   filing of this Registration Statement and prior to such time as the
   Company files a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement
   which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which
   deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be
   incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part
   hereof from the date of filing of such documents.

   Item 4.   Description of Securities.

             Not applicable.

   Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

             Not applicable.

   Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

             The Company is incorporated under the Wisconsin Business
   Corporation Law ("WBCL").  Under Section 180.0851(1) of the WBCL, the
   Company is required to indemnify a director or officer, to the extent that
   such person is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of a
   proceeding, for all reasonable expenses incurred in the proceeding if such
   person was a party because he or she was a director or officer of the
   Company.  In all other cases, the Company is required by
   Section 180.0851(2) to indemnify a director or officer against liability
   incurred in a proceeding to which such a person was a party because he or
   she was a director or officer of the Company, unless it is determined that
   he or she breached or failed to perform a duty owed to the Company and the
   breach or failure to perform constitutes:

             (i)  a willful failure to deal fairly with the Company or
        its shareholders in connection with a matter in which the
        director or officer has a material conflict of interest;

             (ii) a violation of criminal law, unless the director or
        officer had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
        lawful or no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
        unlawful;

             (iii)     a transaction from which the director or officer
        derived an improper personal profit; or

             (iv) willful misconduct.

             Section 180.0858(1) provides that, subject to certain
   limitations, the mandatory indemnification provisions do not preclude any
   additional right to indemnification or allowance of expenses that a
   director or officer may have under the Company's articles of
   incorporation, by-laws, a written agreement or a resolution of the Board
   of Directors or shareholders.

             Section 180.0859 of the WBCL provides that it is the public
   policy of the State of Wisconsin to require or permit indemnification,
   allowance of expenses and insurance to the extent required to be permitted
   under Sections 180.0850 to 180.0858 of the WBCL, for any liability
   incurred in connection with a proceeding involving a federal or state
   statute, rule or regulation regulating the offer, sale or purchase of
   securities.

             Section 180.0828 of the WBCL provides that, with certain
   exceptions, a director is not liable to a corporation, its shareholders,
   or any person asserting rights on behalf of the corporation or its
   shareholders, for damages, settlements, fees, fines, penalties or other
   monetary liabilities arising from a breach of or failure to perform, any
   duty resulting solely from his or her status as a director, unless the
   person asserting liability proves that the breach or failure to perform
   constitutes any of the four exceptions to mandatory indemnification under
   Section 180.0851(2) referred to above.

             Under Section 180.0833 of the WBCL, directors of the Company
   against whom claims are asserted with respect to the declaration of
   improper dividends or distributions to shareholders or certain other
   improper acts which they approved are entitled to contribution from other
   directors who approved such actions and from shareholders who knowingly
   accepted an improper dividend or distribution, as provided therein.

             Article XIII of the By-Laws of the Registrant provides for
   indemnification of directors, to the maximum extent allowed or mandated by
   the laws of the State of Wisconsin and of officers and employees to the
   maximum extent allowed or mandated by the laws of the State of Wisconsin
   except that no indemnification shall be made in respect to any issue or
   matter as to which such officer or employee shall have been adjudged to be
   liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of duty to the
   corporation unless the court in which such action or suit is brought shall
   determine that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
   circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled
   to indemnity for such expenses.

   Item 7.   Exemption from Registration Claimed.

             Not Applicable.

   Item 8.   Exhibits.

             The following exhibits have been filed (except where otherwise
   indicated) as part of this Registration Statement:

    Exhibit No.        Exhibit

        (4)       Ladish Co., Inc. 1996 Long-Term Incentive Plan
        (5)       Opinion of Foley & Lardner
        (23)      Consent of Arthur Andersen LLP
        (24)      Power of Attorney relating to subsequent amendments
                  (included on the signature page to this
                  Registration Statement)

   Item 9.   Undertakings.

             (a)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

             (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
   being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to
   include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
   not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material
   change to such information in the Registration Statement.

             (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
   the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
   deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
   offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
   deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

             (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
   amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at
   the termination of the offering.

             (b)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
   purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
   each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
   Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where
   applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
   pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
   incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed
   to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
   herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
   to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

             (c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
   the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
   controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
   provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
   opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
   against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
   unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
   liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
   or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in
   the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
   such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
   securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of
   its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit
   to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
   indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
   will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
