Castings PLC is United Kingdom’s leading iron casting and machining company. They supply cast parts to the trucks and automotive markets.
We interviewed their Operations Director, Glen Elmy, at GIFA 2019. As both the automotive and heavy machinery markets transition to supply electrified vehicles, Glen Elmy highlights the lasting need for iron castings, providing higher strength and integrity than lightweight alternatives. He also explains why they chose ESI’s casting simulation software ProCAST to power their Industry 4.0 initiatives, how they leverage data, and what they expect from topology optimization.
