Precision casting engineering can produce a wide range of steel grades in accordance with ASTM, AISI, DIN and JIS standards.

| A Wining Team, A Business Development Focused Culture! |
|
|
| We motivate our employees to suggest creative solutions to daily problems and develop new techniques to improve productivity and quality, taking advantage of currently owned technology. |
| Controlling environmental impact |
|
|
| Investment casting is characterized by the use of huge amounts of electricity and fossil fuel in order to reach the high temperatures needed by the industrial furnaces utilized during the process. The energy lost in the process, in form of thermal energy that escapes to the environment is also very high. Additionally some of the substances used in the process may have adverse effects on the surrounding ecosystems. |
 |
Heat Recycling System |
| |
Conscious of the impact of CO2 emissions in the global warming, and immediate impact that our process have on our surroundings, we have designed a system that allows us to recover the energy that dissipates into the environment in the form of heat. Through a system of pipes, we heat up water with the thermal energy originated from the industrial furnaces and redirect it to the places in the process that require of that heat. In this way we reduce CO2 emissions and achieve great savings on fuel cost. Thus, we can prove to our customers and the market in general that taking care of the environment is not an extra load on the company’s budget, but a profitable investment for the business and a gift for future generations. |
|
Residual Water Treatment |
| |
Aware of the effects that some of the substances employed during the process may have on the water sources, we have set in place a residual water treatment system to mitigate the environmental impact of our processes. |
|
|
| Continuously Improving Quality |
|
|
| We believe that continuous quality improvement is the key to low defect rates, which is translated into shorter delivery times, outstanding quality and excellent customer service. |
| Empowering Our Collaborators |
|
|
| We empower the different organizational groups to improve their own systems, while taking into account their impact on other groups. We believe that all departments can cooperate to build and maintain a strong organizational base on which we can continue to build up for increased business and production capabilities. |
