The Lestercast Sales and Marketing team got together this week for their Annual Sales Meeting and Golf Day at a local country club in Leicestershire.

Sales Engineer at Lestercast, Gareth Roberts has recently been told of his achievement within the Institute of Cast Metals Engineers (ICME) National Awards to win the ‘P C Nix Best Technical Student Award (Non Ferrous)’ for 2017.

Lestercast are reaping the benefits of their newly confirmed membership of the leading trade association for UK foundries, The Cast Metals Federation (CMF) as they are marked as the newest Foundry Member of the Federation.

The new standard was released in October 2016 and all organisations that are currently certified to the TS16949:2009 standard must transition over to the new standard by 14th September 2018.

The ISO Quality Management Systems – the world leading quality management standard that Lestercast has proudly held for many years has been revised.

Driven by Innovation, Quality and Excellence, Lestercast are excited to announce the addition of the latest generation, high resolution wax 3D Printers to their current suite of 3D Printing technologies.

Lestercast integrate the techniques of the Japanese 5S Programme of Development through a structured two-day training session rolled out across the company.

The Motorsport Industry Association (MIA) Business Awards Dinner took place with Managing Director, Chris Batty presenting the award to Delta Motorsport for Small Business of the Year.

Lestercast has now been granted ‘Fit For Nuclear’ status following a year-long and challenging process to qualify for the initiative. The company achieved an exceptionally high score on its most recent on-site assessment and is pleased to be one of a few investment casting foundries in the UK to have this accolade.

Lestercast would like to offer their heartfelt congratulations to Leicester City Football Club on their remarkable title win in the Barclays Premier League last night, against all the odds!

Having recently redesigned our on-site facilities to accommodate a purpose-built computerised modular vertical lift system for storage of stock, we thought we’d share with our customers just how easy it is to store their products for scheduled deliveries.

A short while ago Lestercast were delighted to be able to sponsor the Motorsports Industry Association (MIA) Business Awards and coverage in this month’s edition of Racecar Engineering.

As a prerequisite to the undertaking of new business, many of our customers need to put our foundry, facilities and processes through an audit with hugely stringent criteria.
