Foundry Division

The conditioning of molten metal, the nature of the mould and the way metal flows into the mould all affect the quality of the finished castings and the labour, energy and metal usage efficiency of the foundry.

Vesuvius’ products and services to foundries contribute significantly to improved product quality and yield. Foundry customers are evolving towards more sophisticated and complex castings with increased requirements for cleaner and lighter metal, resulting in a greater need for Vesuvius’ products.

We are also focused on expanding the cross-selling opportunities between the Foundry and Advanced Refractories business units.

Foundries utilise some of the refractory products manufactured by Advanced Refractories, which allows us to offer a complete product offering to our customers.
