[Stockholm, 5
March 2015] - A leading Japanese cast iron foundry,
specialising in the production of engine components for commercial
vehicle and industrial vehicle applications, has ordered a
SinterCast process control installation to enable independent
Compacted Graphite Iron (CGI) product development. At the
request of the foundry and the OEM, the details of the installation
and product development must remain confidential. Under the
terms of the agreement, SinterCast will install a Mini-System 3000
and ancillary hardware, and provide engineering support. With
planned installation during the first quarter of 2015, the
Mini-System 3000 will enable the foundry and the end-user OEM to
accelerate the ongoing development of CGI cylinder blocks and heads
for on-road commercial vehicle and off-road industrial vehicle
applications.
"This is a particularly rewarding
installation for SinterCast. We have actively supported the
CGI development activities of the foundry and the OEM for many
years, and we have enjoyed good relationships on the operational
and managerial levels. We are pleased that this support and
confidence has led to a new installation and has established our
partner as the SinterCast-CGI leader in Japan for commercial
vehicle engine development" said Dr Steve Dawson, President &
CEO of SinterCast. "This latest installation marks our third
installation in Japan and our seventeenth installation in Asia,
broadening our presence and brand awareness, and increasing our
opportunity to support the future CGI needs of the important Asian
market."
