About us

Innovativ • High speed action • Intelligent

We are a high-performance, medium-sized company with approximately 300 employees.

We specialize in the development, engineering and production of ready-to-install components made of grey, vermicular and spheroidal graphite cast iron.
On modern, flexible processing lines we produce – amongst other things – housings, axles, flywheels, brake discs and oil sumps.

With both self-manufactured products and bought-in parts we assemble ready-to-install system components for original equipment manufacturers in Europe, USA and Japan.

Engineering

As a result of the close cooperation between our customers and our specialists in the foundry and Mechanical Processing Department, we are in a position to offer optimum solutions for each component with respect to quality and costs. Our Engineering Departments are supported in this by state-of-the-art construction design-, CNC- and simulation-software.

A useful tool for your own research on the best possible casting material is the BDG Casting Adviser. After entering your required parameters (eg, hardness, elongation, tensile strength) you will get a selection of the possible casting materials. Entering a casting material you will get spent on these all parameters.

Mechanical Processing

In the machine shop we produce and finish in particular flywheels, brake and axle parts, oil sumps, clutch and gearbox housings with the highest levels of precision.

For the manufacture of small, medium-sized and large production series we use state-of-the-art CNC-controlled individual machines, machining centres, special machines, transfer lines and highly automated, flexible manufacturing systems.

Assembly

Supported by our automated PPS system, we take the responsibility for the entire logistics process required for supplying our customers with fully assembled products.

The integration of casting, priming/painting and mechanical processing into an optimised and controlled process enables the assembly of components which we both have produced ourselves and bought-in parts as well to form a ready-to-use product.

As a result of this process our customers can concentrate fully on their core competencies without being exposed to the daily stress of having to solve logistical problems.

Quality Assurance

Supported by state-of-the-art measurement technology, our quality management system guarantees compliance with the agreed standards from the customer enquiry upto the shipping of the ready to use products.

Modern quality management methods such as the continuous improvement process combined with a highly motivated workforce form the basis for achieving our zero-fault target.

We are one of the few German iron foundry companies which can currently show that it uses a management system which is certified according to TS 16949 (Quality Management including ISO 9001) , ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) and ISO 50001 (Energy Management) as well.

Furthermore, we have ship and train service Approvals of all the major corporations.
