Selecting the right foundry is crucial to ensuring quality, competitive costs and reliable supply. Based on your technical and commercial requirements, we identify suitable suppliers for your cast components and evaluate both existing suppliers and potential new sources.
Our assessment goes beyond material, casting process, component size and manufacturing capabilities. We also consider quality performance, cost structure, available capacity, logistics and long-term security of supply. Location-specific risks, such as those related to energy and raw-material availability, are also taken into account.
Through our international network, we can identify and compare suitable foundries across different sourcing markets. Our main focus is on Europe, as well as on selected suppliers in Turkey, India and China. The objective is not simply to achieve the lowest quoted price, but to establish a technically capable, commercially competitive and reliable long-term supplier base.
Where required, we support the entire supplier selection process – from supplier search and technical evaluation to quotation comparison, negotiations, supplier qualification and the successful integration of the selected supplier.
