[Katrineholm and Herräng, Sweden, 7 December 2023] – Roslagsgjuteriet, a specialist foundry for short and mid-range cast iron production, has entered into a technology supply agreement with SinterCast for series production of Compacted Graphite Iron (CGI) industrial power engine components. Following a series of successful trials, the Roslagsgjuteriet foundry in Herräng, Sweden has exercised a purchase option to acquire a SinterCast mini-system process control system and wirefeeder. Under the terms of the agreement, SinterCast will also provide engineering support to establish a robust process for the production of CGI components conforming to the international ISO 16112 standard. The industrial power engine components produced during the trial period have been approved by the end-user and series production has started.

“We have extensive experience as a collaborative partner to our customers in new product and development projects, from the initial concept phase to series production. This project has established two new benchmarks for our team” said Ulrika Reimer, CEO of Roslagsgjuteriet. “Introducing a new material - CGI - and accomplishing all of this from the initial trial castings to series production in less than four months. With the support from SinterCast, we look forward to adding compacted graphite iron to our product offering."

“This agreement marks our fifteenth installation in the industrial power sector, increasing our ability to support the marine, rail, stationary power and off-road equipment markets” said Dr Steve Dawson, President & CEO of SinterCast. “The industrial power sector currently accounts for approximately 5% of our total production volume. With the increasing demand for engine performance and emissions compliance in the industrial power market, we anticipate further growth opportunities in this sector, enabling industrial power production to continue to provide a meaningful contribution as the core on-road market continues to grow.”
