PROXY STATEMENT
General Information

     The proxy that accompanies this statement is solicited by the Board of Directors of SIFCO Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) for use at the 2007 Annual Meeting of the Shareholders of the Company to be held January 30, 2007, or at any adjournment thereof. This proxy statement was first mailed on December 15, 2006 to shareholders of record on December 4, 2006.

     Any shareholder giving a proxy for the meeting may revoke it before it is exercised by giving a later dated proxy or by giving notice of revocation to the Company in writing before or at the 2007 Annual Meeting. However, the mere presence at the 2007 Annual Meeting of the shareholder granting a proxy will not revoke the proxy. Unless revoked by notice as above stated, shares represented by valid proxies will be voted on all matters to be acted upon at the 2007 Annual Meeting. On any matter or matters with respect to which the proxy contains instructions for voting, such shares will be voted in accordance with such instructions. Abstentions will be deemed to be present for the purpose of determining a quorum for the 2007 Annual Meeting, but will be deemed not to have voted on the related issues. Brokers who have not received voting instructions from beneficial owners generally may vote in their discretion with respect to the election of directors and the ratification of the selection of auditors. Broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of any proposals brought before the 2007 Annual Meeting.

     The cost of solicitation of proxies in the form accompanying this statement will be borne by the Company. Proxies will be solicited by mail or by telephone or personal interview with an officer or regular employee of the Company. The Company will request brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward proxy soliciting material to the beneficial owners of shares they hold of record, and will reimburse such brokers, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their expenses in so doing.

Officers, directors and greater than ten (10) percent shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16 (a) forms they file.

     Based solely upon a review of Forms 3, 4 and 5 furnished to the Company during, or with respect to, 2006, no director, officer, beneficial owner of more than ten (10) percent of its outstanding Common Shares or any other person subject to Section 16 (a) of the Exchange Act failed to file on a timely basis during 2006 any reports required by 16 (a) of the Exchange Act, except that two (2) late filing were made on behalf of one (1) director with respect to (i) his appointment as a director and (ii) his purchase of Common Shares of the Company in the open market.

ORGANIZATION AND COMPENSATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

     The Company’s Board of Directors held four (4) regularly scheduled meetings during the last fiscal year. The Board of Directors’ standing committees are the Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Governance Committees. During fiscal 2006 each director attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board and the committees on which he or she served. SIFCO’s independent directors meet at each regularly scheduled Board meeting.

     The functions of the Audit Committee are to select, subject to shareholder ratification, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm; to approve all non-audit related services performed by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm; to determine the scope of the audit; to discuss any special problems that may arise during the course of the audit; and to review the audit and its findings for the purpose of reporting to the Board of Directors. The members of the Audit Committee are all independent directors as defined in Section 121A of The AMEX Listing Standards, Policies and Requirements. Each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate and at least one member of such Committee is experienced in finance and accounting. The Audit Committee, currently composed of A. L. Reitman (Chairperson), P. C. Miller, Jr., J. D. Whelan, and F. N. Nichols, held two (2) meetings during fiscal 2006. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 17, 2004, as Exhibit A to the Proxy Statement dated December 17, 2004.

     The functions of the Compensation Committee are to review and recommend the compensation of directors and officers of the Company, including the granting of stock options and the number of shares that should be subject to each option so granted and the payment of annual incentive compensation awards. The Compensation Committee, currently composed of J. D. Whelan (Chairperson), A. L. Reitman, P. C. Miller, Jr., and F. N. Nichols, held two (2) meetings during fiscal 2006.

5

     The functions of the Nominating and Governance Committee are to recommend candidates for the Board of Directors and address issues relating to senior management performance and succession, and to the composition and procedures of the Board. The Nominating and Governance Committee is currently composed of A. L. Reitman, J. D. Whelan, P. C. Miller, Jr., and F. N. Nichols. The members of the Nominating and Governance Committee are all independent directors as defined in Section 121A of the AMEX Listing Standards, Policies and Requirements. The Nominating and Governance Committee did not hold any formal meetings during the last fiscal year; however, its function was fulfilled during sessions of the full Board of Directors. The Nominating and Governance Committee operates under a written charter that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 17, 2004, as Exhibit B to the Proxy Statement dated December 17, 2004. In its role as the nominating body for the Board, the Nominating and Governance Committee reviews the credentials of potential director candidates (including potential candidates recommended by shareholders), conducts interviews and makes formal recommendations to the Board for the annual and any interim election of directors. In making its recommendations, the Nominating and Governance Committee considers a variety of factors, including skills, independence, background, experience, diversity and compatibility with existing Board members. Other than the foregoing, there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees, although the Nominating and Governance Committee may also consider such other factors as it deems appropriate in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

     The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider shareholder nominations for directors at any time. Any shareholder desiring to have a nominee considered by the Nominating and Governance Committee should submit such recommendation in writing to a member of the Nominating and Governance Committee or the Secretary of the Company, c/o SIFCO Industries, Inc., 970 East 64^th Street, Cleveland, OH 44103. The recommendation letter should include the shareholder’s own name, address and the number of shares owned and the candidate’s name, age, business address, residence address, and principal occupation, as well as the number of shares the candidate owns. The letter should provide all of the information that would need to be disclosed in the solicitation of proxies for the election of directors under federal securities laws. Finally, the shareholder should also submit the recommended candidate’s written consent to be elected and commitment to serve if elected. The Company may also require a candidate to furnish additional information regarding his or her eligibility and qualifications.

     For fiscal 2006, each director (other than directors who are employed by the Company) received an annual retainer fee of $12,000 and an attendance fee of $2,000 per Board of Directors meeting and $1,000 per committee meeting. Committee Chairpersons received an additional $3,000 annual retainer for such service.

     In fiscal 2005, H.D. Smith resigned as Executive Vice President and Treasurer of the Company. In connection with the resignation, the Company entered into a Separation Agreement with Mr. Smith that provides him with severance benefits for two years and medical benefits for 18 months. Mr. Smith received payments of $114,500 during fiscal 2006 under such Separation Agreement. In fiscal 2005, Mr. Smith entered into a Sales Representative Agreement with the Company, the terms of which are substantially the same as the terms of other agreements the Company maintains with its third-party sales representatives. Mr. Smith received payments of $107,900 during fiscal 2006 under such Sales Representative Agreement.

Defined Benefit Pension Plans

     The amounts stated in the foregoing Summary Compensation Table do not include amounts paid by the Company for purposes of funding the Company’s non-contributory pension plan. Mr. J. P. Gotschall and Mr. F. A. Cappello participate on the same basis as other salaried employees in a qualified, non-contributory pension plan known as SIFCO Industries, Inc. Salaried Retirement Plan (the “Retirement Plan”). Mr. T. V. Crean participates in the SIFCO Turbine Components Limited Pension Plan (the “STCL Plan”), which is described later in this section.

     The Summary Compensation Table on page 7 includes both base salary and incentive compensation. Benefits payable under the Retirement Plan are calculated using only base salary. Under the terms of the Retirement Plan, as amended March 1, 2003 to cease the accrual of future retirement benefits as of that date, the amount of normal annual retirement benefit payable to a participating employee is generally based upon (i) years of service with the Company prior to normal retirement date but limited to service through March 1, 2003; (ii) “final average earnings” (average base salary during the 60 consecutive month period, within the 120 month period preceding March 1, 2003, during which the total amount of base salary was the highest); and (iii) average Social Security covered compensation. For an employee retiring with 25 years of service or less as of March 1, 2003, the benefit is equal to 2.144% of final average earnings minus .625% of average Social Security covered compensation multiplied by years of service up to 25 years. If an employee has more than 25 years of service as of March 1, 2003, the benefit is increased by 1.25% of final average earnings multiplied by his years of service in excess of 25 years. The amount so determined is payable in the form of a single life annuity

8

or, under certain circumstances, a lump sum payment. Under the Internal Revenue Code, the maximum annual benefit payable under the Retirement Plan to covered employees is limited to $175,000 per year for 2006. In addition, the maximum amount of final average earnings used to compute benefits under the Retirement Plan is limited by the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, in response to such limitations, the Company established a non-qualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) to provide covered employees with a benefit amount equal to what they would have been entitled to receive under the Retirement Plan, as of March 1, 2003, if no such limitations existed.

     The estimated annual retirement benefit under the combined plans for each participant is based upon the base salary at March 1, 2003, the date on which benefits under the Retirement Plan and SERP ceased to accrue for all participants. The following table shows estimated combined annual benefits payable upon retirement under the Retirement Plan and the SERP.

					Years of Service
Remuneration	15		20		25		30		35		40		45
$50,000		12,382		16,510		20,637		23,762		26,887		30,012		33,137

     The payments by the Company to fund the benefits under the Retirement Plan and SERP are actuarially determined. The estimated annual benefits payable upon retirement and projected years of credited service through March 1, 2003 , the date on which benefits under the Plan ceased to accrue for all participants, are as follows: Mr. J. P. Gotschall — $140,900 (29.7 years) and Mr. F. A. Cappello — $7,800 (3.1 years). Total pension expense related to the Retirement Plan and SERP for fiscal year 2006 was $206,800.

     Mr. T. V. Crean participates in the STCL Plan. This is a contributory plan for employees of the Company’s Irish subsidiary. Under the STCL Plan, prior to August 1, 2006, the participants and the Company’s Irish subsidiary each paid 50% of contributions required to fund benefits under such Plan, which amounts were actuarially determined. During fiscal 2006, the Company advised the trustees of the STCL Plan that the Company would discontinue making contributions to the STCL Plan effective August 1, 2006. The trustees of the STCL Plan subsequently advised the Company that it was their intention to terminate the STCL Plan during fiscal 2007 and, accordingly, to make a complete and final distribution (from the STCL Plan assets to the plan participants) of an amount equal to the participants’ minimum transfer value obligation plus an allocation of the residual amount, if any, of STCL Plan assets in excess of the aggregate minimum transfer value obligations for all such participants.

     At September 30, 2006, U.S. dollar equivalent of the minimum transfer value obligation to be paid out of the (to be terminated in 2007) STCL Plan assets to Mr. T. V. Crean is approximately $1.5 million. Total pension expense for the STCL Plan for fiscal year 2006 was $362,600.

Change in Control and Separation Pay Agreements

     The Company has entered into agreements with certain key executives of the Company in order to protect the Company and such key executives in the event of involuntary termination of key executives for other than cause and/or as a result of a change in control of the Company. The purpose of these agreements is to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of these executives to their assigned duties without distraction in the face of (i) solicitations by other employers and (ii) the potentially disturbing circumstances arising from the possibility of a change in control of the Company. To that end, the agreements obligate the Company to provide certain severance benefits, described below, to any of these officers whose employment is terminated under certain circumstances. Such benefits for Mr. J. P. Gotschall, Mr. T. V. Crean, and Mr. F. A. Cappello principally include a payment equal to a maximum of 250% of the key executives’ annual compensation, continuation of insurance coverage for up to 24 months following termination, and accelerated vesting of existing stock options and certain retirement benefits.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

     The Company’s compensation of its executive personnel has three components: base salary, cash incentive compensation and stock-based compensation (stock options and restricted shares).

     Based on a consideration of Chief Executive Officers’ salaries in manufacturing companies of comparable size in the aerospace industry and the Company’s performance, Mr. Gotschall’s annual base salary was $207,000 for fiscal 2006. He also received cash incentive compensation of $100,000 for fiscal 2006.

     The Company has incentive compensation plans for each business unit and for the corporate staff. In general, certain members of the business units share in incentive compensation pools equal to no more than 10% of the business unit’s operating profits, subject to certain adjustments, and members of the corporate staff may earn incentive compensation from a pool equal to no more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated profits before tax, subject to certain adjustments.

     During fiscal 2006, no options were awarded and as of September 30, 2006 no options remain available for future award grants.
