The last year was a big challenge for many companies of all sectors. The same applies to Fritz Winter Iron Foundry. Thus, it is all the more pleasant now that the company was able to present an important new investment for the future: the most up-to-date foundry worldwide for heavy commercial vehicle cylinder blocks.

The unique „ecoCasting“-technology, on which the new production line is based has been developed by Fritz Winter. After having been applied since 2015 already for the production of passenger car cylinder blocks, this technology has been further developed in the last years in order to be able to produce also heavy commercial vehicle cylinder blocks. The new ecoCasting foundry offers ideal conditions in order to meet the future customer requirements of the commercial vehicle segment. „By means of a well-directed integration of components as well as the utilization of the considerably lower production tolerances we are in a position to support our global customers in achieving their CO2 emission targets by means of significant weight savings.“ explains Wilfried Wolf, head of development department of Fritz Winter group.
