Stationary GDC machines
The die stays fixed and metal is poured straight in. Simple, fast and robust — well suited to parts with straightforward shapes and steady volumes.
- Simpler geometries
- Quick die changes
- Good for steady volumes
What's coming
Adding aluminium castings to the chain
Gravity die casting (GDC) means pouring molten aluminium into a reusable steel die, using gravity to fill it. Compared with sand casting, it gives denser metal, a better surface and more repeatable dimensions — ideal for medium-to-high volume automotive parts.
We are setting up a GDC unit at Chitegaon with 2 stationary and 1 tilting GDC machine. The castings will use cores from our own core shop — made from our own resin coated sand — and can be machined, leak tested and impregnated in the same plant.
That means one partner, from sand to a finished, leak-tested aluminium component.

Two ways to pour — matched to the part

Tilting GDC machine
The die tilts while the metal is poured, so aluminium flows in smoothly instead of splashing. Less turbulence means fewer oxides and less gas porosity.
- Complex and cored parts
- Leak-critical castings
- Cleaner metal, fewer defects
Why it matters
One supplier from sand to finished aluminium part
Most casting buyers manage a foundry, a core maker, a machine shop and an impregnation vendor separately. With GDC in-house, all of it sits with us.
Our own cores
Cores shot in-house from our own RCS — the casting's internal shape is under our control.
Machining next door
Castings go straight to our VMC and conventional shop. No transport, no handover gaps.
Leak-proof by design
Leak testing and impregnation on site for manifolds, housings and pressure parts.
One point of contact
One PO, one quality team and one person accountable for the finished part.
