The foundry will install a nobake moulding line and more melting capacity, increasing its product size range from 2kg to 90kg up to 2kg to 272kg.
The engineering is being developed by GEMCO, the melting equipment will be supplied by Inductotherm and the moulding line and sand system will be from IMF.
