Globalization, the virtual markets of the Internet and the price pressure they have introduced have pushed the casting industry into a paradigm shift. Customers, especially automakers and mechanical engineering companies, are expecting more than just excellent materials and modern technologies - and they certainly get more. Successful foundries make the transition from mere suppliers to constructive system and development partners. They meet all of the exacting demands as far as innovative energy and delivery flexibility are concerned.
