With foundries, SF optimize the casting process as a consultant and by implementing technologies along with continuous support. We invest in long-term business relations.
With casting buyers, SF provide project management and design expertise so the design is cost-effective and defects eradicated from the first mold filled with metal. Not all welded assemblies are good candidates for a conversions to a casting. Do you have some for evaluation by SF engineering team?
