Whether you want to grow through Rheocasting, stronger digital communication, or both, schedule a Free Consultation today, and let’s discuss where Casting-Campus can support your business most effectively.
Foundries are energy-intensive, and rising energy costs are squeezing margins even tighter. Melting 1kg of aluminium to 750°C uses 0.291 kWh, and that’s just part of the process. With sustainability demands increasing, the carbon footprint matters more than ever. Are you tracking your energy use and emissions?
Explore the challenges and shifts shaping the European automotive industry, from EV margins to Chinese imports and changing consumer demand.
The HPDC market is expected to grow from USD 38.66 billion in 2024 to USD 52.14 billion by 2029, driven by the increased use of aluminium in vehicles and the rise of electric vehicles and gigacastings. This trend presents challenges and opportunities for small foundries, requiring adaptation and innovation to capture new profitable markets.
As you’ve probably heard, major OEMs like Volkswagen are cutting production, and the car market isn’t booming. For foundries primarily serving the automotive industry, this means lower volumes and tighter scrutiny of part specifications.
In our eighth Gold Nugget, we explore the impact of sustainability in purchasing processes for foundries. We dissect how carbon footprint considerations influence part prices and the growing importance of securing post-consumer aluminium scrap. This episode also covers the effects of CBAM, Catena-X, and certifications on global foundries.
