Machine-molded iron cast components for commercial vehicles and the off-highway segment including construction equipment, agricultural and forestry machinery, regenerative energy, engine technology and general engineering.

Facts & figures

Since 1995, GF Casting Solutions runs the foundry that is home to Europe’s largest moulding box for machine-moulded iron castings. However, the foundry was founded in 1887 as Meier & Weichelt company. Nowadays, there are about 255 employees producing large and heavy castings components with a production capacity of 60,000 tons/ year.

Our technologies

Casting is diverse. High degree of design freedom, material know-how or diversity in geometries: the right material selection, combined with the optimal design and the appropriate manufacturing process, leads to the best results.

Green sand mold

Box size: 2500 x 1600 x 500/500 mm

Additive manufacturing

- Printer box size: 1800 x 1000 x 700 mm

Additive Manufacturing

Ductile casting

- For special requirements
- On request
- Also for standard materials

Top-coat

- Dip primer
- Fully automated system
- Solvent-free and water-based

Machining

Special applications

We substitute components that are forged, joined or cast and made of steel. Therefore, we do not only optimize the component's characteristics, but also the component's weight.

Cast-in parts

- Less expenses for machining
- Connection with component
- No costs for additional cleaning

Compound casting

Manufacturing of multicomponent mixtures with different characteristics in one component

Quality

With CMM, non-destructive measurement processes and chemical analysis we make sure, that our components fit every quality standards.

Three coordinate measuring

Non-destructive testing

Chemical analysis

Our market segments

We create solutions for off-high way vehicles such as construction equipment, agricultural and forestrical equipment, commercial vehicles (busses, trucks), the energy sector (wind mills and solar parks) and industrial applications

Off-Highway

- Construction equipment
- Agricultural equipment
- Forest equipment

Commercial vehicles

- Trucks & Trailers
- Busses

Energy

- Regenerative energies
(windmills, solar parks)

Industrial applications

- General engineering
- Rail
- Engine technology

Additive manufacturing

The manufacturing of 3D-printed cores with a size up to 1,800x1,000x700 mm is possible in house and increases the flexibility, especially in the prototyping phase.
