Since 1927, we have been casting engine housings from resource-saving gray cast iron for our customers’ drive units, from frugal two-cylinder engines to lively twelve-cylinder engines. Over the decades, our formerly small iron foundry has specialized in series production with up to 4 million cylinder crankcases annually for the global passenger car market. Smaller batches of special castings on customer request round off our portfolio.
The art of iron casting has fascinated mankind for thousands of years. For us, molten iron is much more than just a material. While the sparks fly, we are not just shaping metal, but emotions. Our iron casting embodies the essence of tradition, technology and passion. Every casting that leaves our factory is a product of traditional craftsmanship, innovative technology and the pursuit of 100% top quality.
The heart of every vehicle is its engine. No other component generates more enthusiasm and passion, because only a high-quality drive engine enables daily driving pleasure. Efficient, powerful and durable engines require a stable yet delicate housing (cylinder crankcase / cylinder block) as a basis.
Being at the cutting edge of technology is extremely important to us. A high degree of automation and sophisticated high-tech equipment make our production areas a unique paradise for technology enthusiasts. Our fully automated and interlinked production processes are among the most technologically advanced in the world.
We are proud of our competent and diverse team. Although our quality products are 100% Made in Germany, which means that research, development and production take place exclusively in Germany, our employees come from more than 30 different countries.
From the very beginning, we have been an independent and group-independent company, family-run and still owned by the founding family Georg Sandmann. This gives us security and stability for our innovative future projects.
