Non-ferrous sand foundry in Viersen
Dietermann GmbH + Co. KG is a non-ferrous sand foundry in Viersen that produces demanding sand-cast components in medium batch sizes. Castings are produced in all aluminium and copper alloys with piece weights from 200 g to 200 kg. Moulding is done by hand, on semi-automatic moulding lines or on moulding machines; these are supplemented by core making, casting and fettling. With a very high level of in-house value creation, the company supports customers throughout the entire life cycle of a component: from design support and simulation via pattern making and prototype production through to series supply and spare parts production. Downstream heat treatment, machining on CNC machining centres, quality assurance and logistics round off the range of services. Customers include pump and vacuum machine engineering, engine manufacturing, the rail vehicle industry, industrial valves, construction machinery and general mechanical engineering.
