Costamp Foundry: The perfect integration between design and casting

Costamp Foundry is the beating heart of Costamp Group’s production process, enabling in-house management of aluminum casting with HPDC and LPDC technologies. Our foundry, Alunext, established to offer sampling services, has evolved into a center of excellence, developing a wealth of knowledge to support customers in process development and mass production.

By integrating mold design with the foundry department, we reduce development time, validate processes in real-time, and provide certified prototypes and samples. The result is a turnkey solution that ensures maximum efficiency in transitioning from the testing phase to industrial production.
