Aluminum Foundries in Poland – What to Compare
Aluminum foundries in Poland range from small shops that sand cast individual parts to large die casting foundries producing hundreds of thousands of parts a year. To compare quotes, it is worth lining up a few parameters: technologies, weight and run size range, alloys, tooling, machining, finishing, quality system and logistics. Below is the same list, with answers for our foundry.
What to Compare – and How We Measure Up
| Parameter | Why it matters | Poznań Foundry |
|---|---|---|
| technologies | determine tooling cost, accuracy and a cost-effective production run | permanent molds, sand molds, die casting |
| casting weight | not every foundry can handle both small and large parts | permanent mold 0.1–50 kg, sand 1–100 kg |
| production volume | from prototype to series production | from prototypes and short runs up to 100,000 pcs per year (high-pressure die casting) |
| alloys | the alloy affects strength, corrosion resistance and castability | alloys per PN-EN 1706, including EN AC-42000, 46200, 46500, 47100 and 51300 |
| tooling | in-house pattern shop and tool room shorten changeover times | patterns, core boxes and permanent molds made in our own pattern shop (with partners on some projects), die casting dies made in our own tool room |
| machining | a single supplier for casting and machining means fewer problems with datums and machining allowances | 3-axis and 5-axis CNC machining centers, CNC automatic lathes |
| finish | a finished part instead of yet another subcontractor | grinding, polishing, galvanic coatings, powder coating in RAL colors |
| quality | a certified management system and clear acceptance rules | ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 (TÜV Rheinland Polska), technical acceptance conditions, strength testing on request |
| location and delivery | shipping cost and the option to visit | Janikowo near Poznań; deliveries within Poland and abroad, pickup at the plant by appointment |
Before placing an order, it is also worth checking the supplier's registration details and certificates – we cover this in the text foundries in Poland – how to vet a foundry.
How to prepare an inquiry
Quotes are easiest to compare when several foundries receive the same inquiry: a drawing with tolerances, a 3D model, the alloy, annual quantities and acceptance requirements. You will find the list of required data and an inquiry template in the guide foundry quote request.
In short: when comparing aluminum foundries in Poland, look at technologies, weight and volume ranges, alloys, tooling, machining, finishing, quality system and logistics. We cast in permanent molds (0.1–50 kg), in sand (1–100 kg) and by high-pressure die casting (up to 100,000 pcs per year), with CNC machining and powder coating at one plant.
