/ IN-HOUSE CNC MACHINING

One supplier. One finished component.

/ THE PROBLEM WE REMOVE

Split supply chains mean split accountability.

Managing a casting supplier and a separate machining house isn't just inconvenient - it's a risk. Split supply chains mean split accountability, extended lead times and more opportunities for components to fall through the gap.

Alucast eliminates that problem entirely. Our fully equipped in-house CNC machining department, operating 25 CNC machines, takes your component from cast blank to finished, dimensionally verified part - all under one roof, one quality system, and one point of accountability.

/ WHY IN-HOUSE MACHINING CHANGES EVERYTHING

When casting and machining sit under the same quality system, problems get caught - and resolved - faster. Our engineers understand the casting's grain structure, its as-cast tolerances and its material behaviour. We machine what we cast. The result is a tighter, more reliable finished part and a simpler supply chain for you.
