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."
