The state of the order book has improved somewhat since the start of the year, but there are no hopes – as yet – of repeating the levels seen in the boom year of 2008. The market as a whole is therefore still somewhat tense, but we are nevertheless investing in new machinery, despite the general state of the economy.
We are still fully convinced of the decisive advantages to be had from our combination of centrifugal casting and highly-precise and efficient finishing options, and the quality and reliability that they deliver.

With this in mind, we have just replaced one of the older centrifugal casting machines in our foundry with a new machine that was both designed and built in-house. This supposes a further great leap forward for us in terms of reliability and operating safety. We have also expanded on the metal-machining side of the operation, with the acquisition of another two large Okuma four-axis lathes, designed to let us handle even larger diameters with extreme precision and efficiency.

Full process control with maximum efficiency and reliability sums up our goals in this respect. This is why we are also continuing to invest, despite these economically difficult times, as part of our efforts to offer you long-term reliability on the basis of our state-of-the-art plant equipment.
