About ACO Eurobar
ACO Eurobar is a continuous casting manufacturer based in Kaiserslautern and part of the ACO Group. The company produces continuously cast bars and profiles made of cast iron with flake and nodular graphite in numerous materials and dimensions. The product range covers classic raw stock through to fully machined continuous casting parts from its own machining operations, including sawing, turning, drilling, peeling and milling. In addition, ACO Eurobar offers an online stock list with current inventory, a technical continuous casting manual, machining recommendations for all materials, and batch labels with a Data Matrix code for seamless traceability. Customers come from the mechanical engineering, glass mould making, hydraulics and automotive industries. The company is run by Hans-Julius, Johanna and Iver Ahlmann, who were inducted into the Handelsblatt Hall of Fame of Family Businesses in the current year.
