Annual report 2009 - Siempelkamp

Siempelkamp Foundry:
iron casting
of record size
The Siempelkamp Foundry was initially founded in 1924 in order to meet the company’s
internal demand for parts for Siempelkamp machinery and plants products.
Today, cast parts are manufactured for numerous customers in a wide range of industries.
Next to components for our large presses, the foundry makes structural parts for large
wind power plants, housings for turbines and engine blocks for ships’ diesel engines, to
only name a few.
Our success is based on technical expertise, a wide range of experience and gapless
communication. All involved parties operate in close dialog with one another to correlate
each factor in the process chain with another. For example, the design of the construction
always goes along with the decision about the production process and a new product is
always tightly bound to the material and its properties.
Based on the many years of application-specifi c experience of our design engineers,
engineers, quality supervisors, computational engineers, pattern makers, molders and
casters, a complete concept is developed that provides our customers with the guarantee
of receiving the optimal product that is the best solution for the specifi c purpose of the
operator!
