Castalum commenced production as a greenfield operation in 2001 under the banner of SPX Contech. The mission of the company was to quadruple output from the first full year’s production over a period of 5 years – a target that was achieved.

Approaching our second decade the Company still maintains it’s vision of producing high quality difficult castings to exacting customer standards. Our new mission as Castalum is to increase our output by 50% over  the next 5 years and occupy an ever widening supply footprint in Europe and globally
