Your development partner
The power of collaboration
Working closely with customers is paramount to achieving excellence in castings. At BIRN, customer collaboration begins in the casting design phase.
Effective collaboration ensures a deep understanding of the technical complexities of the project and the customer’s requirements. Through open dialogue and knowledge sharing, potential challenges are identified early in the process, paving the way for successful design solutions.
Collaborative design reviews allow for continuous refinement that optimizes the solution for efficient manufacturing processes and cost effectiveness.
Experienced foundry engineering team
Our engineering team is highly skilled with years of experience in cast iron design optimized for casting, machining, surface treatment and assembly.
All team members are dedicated to supporting our customers’ supply chain performance. Our foundry and machining engineers are ready to assist you in the development phase with guidelines and design to ensure the optimal prototype on the way to serial production.
“We provide comprehensive support throughout the design phase, offering guidelines and designs to optimize our customers’ prototypes for optimal performance and cost-effective volume production.”
Carsten Erichsen, Head of Methods Department
In-house pattern and fixture production and maintenance
One of the greatest advantages of having pattern and fixture production and maintenance capabilities in-house is that we can offer fast and competent fixture construction as an integral part of our own production process. You get precise pattern equipment and fixtures made at the very same facility as where the actual casting and machining takes place.
In fact, we offer you a total production line all under the same roof – or put another way: we add value to your production by offering speed, skill and flexibility in the critical, early phases of the components’ manufacture.
