Pilgrim Sleeve at 2.7 tonnes nett going through the casting process

 

As part of our ongoing commitment in offering our customers the very best possible service, we will continue to invest in the modernisation of our foundry property and equipment in 2010.  

In 2008 we opened production Bay No 3 and late last year we announced the re-opening of Bay No 1. Both will improve our rate of production and reduce casting lead times.

During June 2010 we manufactured the 2nd largest casting in our company history. The Taper Sleeve casting made for Pilgrim International weighed approximately 2.7 tonnes.^
