Engineering
” Who’s the best person to transform your idea into reality?
You!
And there’s no reason you can’t do it. With guidance and support from our expert team, you’ll not just put your idea on paper, you will transform it into the perfect design. Thanks to digital patterning and computer modelling your product will come to life in three dimensions before your eyes. And look better than you would ever have believed.
If design doesn’t sound like your cup of tea, or you would prefer to leave it to our experts: it is no problem. You decide the extent to which you want to be involved. We happily guide you and support you as required and offer our insight to help you strengthen and enhance your original concept.
Your high durability aluminum pattern plates are then cut on our ultramodern Hedelius C80 milling center or Mazak VTC-820 milling center under the watchful eyes of our experienced engineers.

Processing & Assembly
After your newly cast iron cools down, the green sand moulds are shaken loose to leave your cast iron product ready for shot blasting . Fully cleaned and polished, the examination and testing phase begins. Our committed team carefully assembles everything by hand ensuring the legal requirements for your country or product are exactly followed. We also follow the supervision and quality guidelines set by the Dovre group, your assurance for knowledgeable, careful construction. If your product requires parts from third parties, you can ask us to make any necessary arrangements. From glass to locking systems and everything in between.
The mechanical production line
Our production team works aligned with a high-tech production system:
- Mitutoyo 3D measuring machine with a range of 850 x 700 x 600 mm.
- Tensile strength testing machine.
- Hardness testers.

Quality standards
Our highly-trained, experienced and reliable team knows the ins and outs not just of the equipment in our foundry. They don’t just know what we are capable of as a foundry: they know exactly what can be accomplished with cast iron, and more importantly, they know how to accomplish it.
We always aim for the absolute highest quality. You are welcome and encouraged to take part in the engineering process with our guidance and supervision. Every decision you make is analyzed and enhanced to produce a stronger, higher quality product before your pattern plates are made. And after casting? Your product is tested and examined for accuracy, metal quality, strength, durability, hardness and even smoothness. Because a product is not of high enough quality if it doesn’t meet the quality standards we demand.
