Castmetal Advanced Services’ core business is to help its customers co-develop their parts, from functional specifications to final production.
Over the past 20 years, the company has built up a panel of reliable, competitive suppliers capable of delivering the full range of casting and forging technologies. All of them are capable of adapting to the sector’s technological imperatives in terms of reliability, quality, competitiveness and sustainable development, in line with Safe Group’s standards.
Our panel of suppliers enables us to adapt the manufacture of the customer’s product to the required technologies (green sand casting, lost wax, shell moulding, forging, etc.) for parts ranging from a few grams to several tonnes in the material of your choice. We are able to integrate all the added value before assembling the component on your machines (heat treatment, machining, painting, surface treatment, etc.). Our experience has enabled us to develop, together with our partners, the supply of sub-sets via assembly and welding operations, as well as the integration of additional components (rings, grease nipples, carbides, polymer components, etc.).
Our partners meet the most stringent international standards, such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO/TS 16949. Our engineers regularly carry out in-depth inspections and quality controls on the products, machines, jigs and production processes of all our partners.
Our commitment: high-quality parts on time.
Our logistics platform, located as close as possible to our customers, ensures complete traceability of goods and optimised tracking. Thanks to the large number of containers shipped each week, our customers benefit from competitive market prices.
