Foundry & Forge
FOUNDRY
3D Printing
Metal casting, an age-old manufacturing method, now benefits from 3D printing by reducing tooling costs, like moulds and cores. Our 3D printer let’s us make cost-effective, one-off prototypes, reducing expenses linked to traditional mould-making methods. This shift helps foundries like ours stay competitive as 3D printing is integrated into our production processes.

Diversification and Expansion
We have pursued opportunities in diverse sectors, including rail, food, agriculture, and mining. Today, we produce a wide array of aluminum components, ranging from bailer needles, fan blades, and compaction unit shafts to swing trays for aluminum smelters. We include the manufacture of meat saws, potato peelers, jaffle makers, grill plates and even specialized components for the burial industry, such as lowering mechanisms for caskets.
