CastAlum

CastAlum is an internationally acclaimed aluminium die caster and machinist located in Mid Wales. The site was a Greenfield development in the winter of 2000-2001, serving one customer only. 20 years on, the company supplies parts to the UK, Europe, Canada, and Mexico. We have grown from supplying "cast only" parts to one customer, to supplying a range of products (in both High Pressure & Squeeze Cast) in cast, cast & machined, and assembled & tested as the needs of our customer base has dictated. 90% of all production is for export, with our components going into vehicles produced by VAG, BMW, Ford, General Motors, Fiat, Renault, Porsche, Mercedes, Jaguar Land Rover, AML and other prestigious marques, as well as non-automotive customers. Over the past 9 years the Company has invested heavily in the development of new products, processes, and capabilities. Through our own investigation and expertise, we have been able to bring several process solutions to bear in meeting world class quality standards. Key to this is our "Forward Focus" ethos which drives change as our customers' needs grow to meet the new challenges of Electric Vehicle (EV) and Low Carbon Vehicle (LCV) technology. Our investment & understanding of Additive Material Technology to aid with conformal cooling has allowed us to change what is viewed as feasible within our industry. We now have a wealth of experience and data to support the development of lightweight casting technology without sacrificing properties or durability.
