We are technically equipped with the state-of-art machineries and are capable of producing castings from 0.5 KG to 1 Ton in any form, shape or grade to suit any market/ client requirement.
As part of our ongoing efforts for continual improvement, we have moved from our existing facility in Dubai to a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in UAE’s capital of Abu Dhabi (KIZAD). This is fully operational from the year 2022 onwards and is a state of the art foundry with the latest technology of Greensand (Belloi-Italian & Koyo-Japanese) and No-Bake (Omega-UK) moulding system in addition to our wide array of equipment and machinery, which will ensure more accurate and best possible product quality. Pattern and toolings are designed by licensed 3D modeling software and then manufactured using the CNC machines (Flexicam and CNC Vertical Machining Centers). The in-house testing capabilities are also enhanced by commissioning a full fledge chemical, mechanical, metallurgical and sand testing laboratory.
