Cirex is one of the world’s largest investment casting (“lost wax”)
foundries. We produce high-grade steel components used by leading
Original Equipment Manufacturers in the automotive, aviation, process
and machine construction industries.
Tailor-made solutions with optimal lifetime costs are guaranteed by using
two factories:
• Our highly automated factory in The Netherlands optimized for high
volume series production, product development and rapid prototyping.
• Our second factory is located in the Czech Republic, a new and more
favorable cost environment for small and medium sized production
series.

Investment casting (“lost wax”) is the oldest known casting technique.
Cirex utilizes this technique with a modern and highly automated process.
This is often the perfect production solution with the advantage of freedom
of design:
• complex shapes
• combine functionalities
• significant reduction of machining
• excellent surface quality
• high dimensional accuracy
• any steel alloy available
With these properties the “lost-wax” casting process is often a very
competitive solution for complex design problems. Cirex has the power,
knowledge and experience to be your strong development partner.

Investment casting:
“a casting method designed to achieve high dimensional accuracy for small castings
by making a mold of refractory slurry, which sets at room temperature, surrounding
a wax pattern which is then melted out to leave a mold without joints”.
McGraw-Hill: Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, sixth edition

From design consultancy to finished and fully verified final product,
Cirex will present the most cost-effective answer with no compromises.
The optimum solution can be offered using casting simulations software
and state-of-the-art test and control equipment.
Cirex castings can be supplied “ready for use”. Machining, heat-
and surface treatment and subassemblies are our everyday business.
From development to the start of series production: midsize series can
be realized at Cirex in a matter of weeks. If “time to market” is truly
important, Cirex is the partner you need.

Based on your required functionality data we
offer a free engineering support. With our
practical expertise we translate your design into
a casting based on a 2D-drawing, 3D-model or
Rapid Prototyping.

With more than 40 years of experience, Cirex has succeeded in creating
a highly automated and robotized production process. This ensures
unconditional constant quality: around the clock, 7 days a week.
This reliable production process, virtually independent of human
influences, has made Cirex a reputable supplier to the European
automotive industry. Many Original Equipment Manufacturers in the
aviation, process technology and machine construction industries are
exploiting this advantage too.

Cirex believes in continuous quality improvement. Both our plants are certified to
ISO 9001: 2000 and ISO/TS 16949:2002. And of course we apply the standards
of ISO 14001 for the maximum possible environmental protection.
