Why buyers choose our foundries
Casting, machining and finishing under one quote, from plants that control every step of the process.
01
Grey and ductile iron, ready to fit
We cast grey and ductile iron and deliver it machined and painted, so parts arrive ready for assembly.
02
Certified, with care for the environment
Quality and environmental management to EN ISO 9001 and EN ISO 14001, with water-based painting.
03
Experience at every critical point
Casting simulation with MAGMA, laboratory testing and CMM dimensional inspection, with documentation on request.
Three casting processes, from grams to tonnes
Choose the process by weight, batch size and tolerance. We help you pick it when we review your drawing.
Automatic green sand moulding
High-volume castings on automatic moulding lines, for repeatable parts in series production.

Questions buyers ask
Not listed here? Write to sales@ironfoundry.eu.
Which materials can you cast?
Grey iron EN-GJL-200 and EN-GJL-250 (EN 1561); ductile iron EN-GJS-400-18 (LT/RT), 450-10, 500-7, 600-3 and 700-2 (EN 1563); whiteheart malleable iron EN-GJMW-400-5, 450-5 and 360-12 (EN 1562); carbon, low-alloy and high-alloy cast steels. By lost-wax casting we also cast aluminium and copper alloys.
What is the maximum casting weight and size?
Automatic moulding lines cast parts from 0.10 to 250 kg. Hand moulding handles castings up to 7500 × 1900 × 2000 mm, and steel and iron castings up to 12,000 kg are produced on request. Lost-wax castings range from 0.01 to 5 kg.
Which dimensional tolerances do you achieve?
Castings from the automatic moulding lines are made to PN-ISO 8062 CT9 to CT11. Lost-wax investment castings are made to PN-ISO 8062 CT5 to CT6.
Can you machine the castings?
Yes. More than 50 CNC machines handle turning from Ø10 to Ø450 mm and machining on centres up to 1200 × 600 × 300 mm, with CMM inspection. Heat and thermochemical treatment and automatic water-based painting are also available.
Which certifications do you provide?
The EN ISO 9001 quality management certificate can be downloaded from our quality page. Other certificates and approvals depend on the foundry and the part, and are available on request.
