We have a sand, chemical and thermal laboratory.
Our state of the art laboratory equipment has opened up new opportunities both in the services we offer to foundries as well as the research potential of the company. We carry out laboratory tests of foundry materials, moulding and core mixtures according to proven methodologies or the specific requirements of our customer using regularly calibrated laboratory equipment.
