Casting & Forging

    Autosport Castings Made By Precision Investment

    Ceramicast (Precision Investment Castings) Ltd, of Woking, Surrey, is now celebrating its 25th year of producing precision investment castings for a wide variety of industry's in the UK and Europe. 

    National Award Follows £800k Investment in 2003

    Eurotech Industries, the Wednesbury-based die caster, has recently won back business from the Czech Republic to produce roof rack castings for Skoda and BMW - contracts worth £1m in total. Last year the firm invested £800,000 and saw turnover rise by £2m. Eurotech has also beaten off competition from over 100 UK companies to land the Cast Metals Federation's (CMF) 'Overall Company of the Year' award. 

    Magnesium Castings Use Dry Goose-Neck Hot Chamber Method

    Magnesium Castings Ltd, Worcester, uses a unique dry goose-neck hot chamber die casting process, and has just finished another batch of low volume, high quality, magnesium die-castings for Triumph Motorcycles. The engine covers, cam covers and steering brackets are typical of the applications where light weight and detail are required. 

    Export of Diecastings To Far East Bucks The Trend

    GT Diecastings Ltd, Tyne & Wear is bucking the trend by exporting machined diecastings to the Far East. The high pressure aluminum and zinc foundry secured contracts to supply high volume automotive components beating competition on both quality and price. This additional business has increased GT Group exports to £8m and the trend is expected to continue over the next two years.
