AGP Foundry
We are a 4th generation owner managed foundry specialising in the continuous casting of non-ferrous alloys.
Welcome
We have a reputation that has literally taken generations to establish as a manufacturer and global exporter of non-ferrous alloys cast into hollow or solid bar length that meet the most demanding of quality standards.
Our business has evoloved ovr the years in response to our customer need, the constraints of the global supply chain, and in how we differentiate ourselves from our competitors. More and more our customers are no longer seeking semi-finished products, but the end product out of which our semi-finished products were manufactured.
We now have an integrated value chain, from foundry and metalurgical services to CNCing and tooling for manufacture.
Although alloy casting of semi-finished copper and aluminium alloys remains our core business, our business has evolved with the demands and needs of our customers, some with whom we have been doing business for many years.
How our business has changed gets noticed by our customers, as they observe the make up and composition of our stores.
On site CNC machining requires we keep a lot of hollow bar stock across multiple alloys
We now are able to cater to the needs of those customers, who use our hollow bar products in the manufacture of bushes and bushings. (A Bush or Bushing is a fixed or removable cylindrical tube or sleeve that provides an interface between two parts. It is used to constrain, guide, or reduce friction and is effectively one classification of the overall category of bearings and sometimes are referred to as Sleeve Bearings or Plain Bearings.)
These machined bushes must meet the functional Tribological demands of the engineeering application in which they are to be used. (Tribology is defined as the science and technology of interacting surfaces in relative motion. It includes the study and application of the principles of friction, lubrication and wear).
We have precison machining capabilities that allow us to meet tolerances reliably in mass produced components, where we have 4 sigma quality rates.
We are now prossess mature CNC Milling & Turning capabilities and regularly work to tolerances of 5-10 microns.
We have precision machining capabilities that allow us to meet tolerances reliably in mass produced components, where we have 4 sigma quality rates.
We are able to machine to order large components, from a wide range of the different copper-alloys we cast.
The menu to the top left, provides detail on our Continuous, Centrifugal and Ingot castings, detail on the range of non-ferrous alloy products we produce, the detail around dimensions, as well as the finished product machining we can provide (bushes, bearing housings, pump components, flanges etc.) It also provides detail on the ISO9001:2015 QMS we have implemented, refined and embedded into our operational processes to ensure Quality can be guaranetted.
You can find out more about who we are, how to make contact with us and with whom in particular. Of course we welcome visitors and you will find the detail of how to get to us from the nearest airport serving international flights (O.R Tambo), and how to get to some of our strategic partners.
