Leading UK aluminium casting foundry, Alucast is celebrating its 50th birthday in style after announcing plans for a new £1.2m technical centre and machine shop.
Alucast will reportedly start work on the new facility in June, which will house its existing CAD and MAGMA® casting simulation facilities, non-destructive testing capabilities and the firm’s new five-axis CNC technology.
It’s part of an ambitious strategy that will see the company target up to £3m of new ‘lightweighting’ opportunities for complex castings in the automotive and agricultural markets.
