[Stockholm, 17 May 2011] – Daeshin Engineering & Machinery Co., Ltd, one of South Korea's leading providers of castings, forgings and engineering services to the industrial power and marine industries, has entered into a technology supply agreement with the Swedish process control specialist SinterCast for the development of Compacted Graphite Iron (CGI). Under the terms of the agreement, SinterCast will supply a Mini-System 3000 process control system, related hardware, and engineering service to support the establishment of a robust CGI production process. The Mini-System 3000 will be commissioned during June 2011.
"Approximately 15% of SinterCast's current series production volume is derived from components other than automotive cylinder blocks and heads. This agreement with Daeshin extends our ability to identify and support new product opportunities in the industrial power sector" said Dr Steve Dawson, President & CEO of SinterCast. "The agreement with Daeshin marks our fourth foundry customer in the important Korean market and also represents the ninth installation of our Mini-System derivative that was introduced in September 2004. We look forward to supporting the product development activities at Daeshin and to exploring new CGI opportunities as the global industrial power industry develops more powerful, fuel efficient and environmentally friendly engines."
