Quality Assurance · IATF 16949:2016
Quality in die casting is built in at every stage — from the ingot we accept to the label on the box. This page explains how we inspect, record and improve.
Quality Policy
We are committed to supplying aluminium die castings that meet customer requirements every time, by maintaining a documented quality management system, training our people, working with approved suppliers, and measuring our performance to improve continuously.

CERTIFICATE NUMBER : 0612600
Aluminium ingots are accepted only from approved suppliers with mill certificates. Each lot is checked for identification and chemistry before it is released to the melting area.
Holding temperature is controlled at 685°C ± 5°C and the melt is degassed before transfer to reduce hydrogen porosity.
Setters approve the first shots of every run; operators check castings at a defined frequency against a control plan.
Critical dimensions are measured with gauges in-process and on the CMM for first-article and periodic audits.
Castings are checked for cold shuts, flow lines, cracks, flash and surface damage against agreed boundary samples.
Before packing, each batch passes final inspection and is labelled for traceability, then packed to the agreed specification.
