Casting Capabilities
We provide high-quality casting solutions for complex, high-strength components across a wide range of industries. With a global network of partners and foundries, we offer aluminum, steel, iron, and non-ferrous castings in low, medium, and high volumes – from precision parts to large structural elements.
We support multiple casting processes including:
– Sand casting (for large and structural parts)
– Die casting (high precision, tight tolerance components)
– Investment casting / lost wax (complex geometries, fine surfaces)
– Gravity casting (medium complexity, durable results)
– Permanent mold casting
Our services include material consulting, mold design, CNC machining, surface treatment (e.g. shot blasting, painting, anodizing), leak testing, and mechanical assembly. From a single prototype to series-ready, fully machined and finished castings – we manage the entire process chain.
Use Case – Rocker Arm Casting Program for Multi-Sector Engine Manufacturer
Client: Global Engine Manufacturer (Construction, Military, Marine)
Product: Investment-cast Rocker Arms & Valve Train Components
We supported a multi-year casting program for a major engine OEM supplying the construction equipment (yellow goods), military vehicle, and marine propulsion sectors. The focus was on the production of high-strength rocker arms and related valve train parts, engineered for heavy-duty diesel engines operating under extreme conditions.
Key Contributions:
– Investment casting process with steel alloys for durability and fatigue resistance
– Multi-cavity tooling designed for flexibility across engine variants
– CNC machining and hardening process with integrated quality checkpoints and dimensional reports
– Custom coatings acc. customer specification
– Just-in-time delivery to multiple international assembly plants
– Full PPAP, material certificates, and end-of-line testing for each batch
The program covered over 20 part numbers across 3 engine platforms, with production volumes reaching more than 100.000 parts p.a.
