CastAlum

Castalum attended the annual dinner of the Cast Metals Federation understanding that they had been nominated as one of the finalists for Company of the Year. Our application featured the path to achieve required output expansion through new equipment; new peopleand training and succession management for the future at all levels. The application also noted technical developments to improve quality and uptime. The application was sufficiently compelling to justify success and make Castalum the winner of the very handsome industry leader trophy

The continued investment by Castalum in new diecasting equipment has meant that our diecasting base remains, probably, the youngest in Europe. Castalum has invested in the order of £23 million since the MBO in 2009

Castalum is continuing it’s investment program with the order of a 2000 tonne Buhler Prince HPDC machine. As with all of our diecasting equipment this DCM is part of a fully automated cell complete with a tower melt furnace. The cell will be installed for production by April 2016.
