In order to facilitate an efficient and effective environment and continue to improve productivity, Lestercast has a unique and unrivalled strategy in developing and maintaining a clean, well organised and modern streamlined investment casting foundry.

We have implemented lean manufacturing systems throughout and, as part of this, we continually inspect and audit our facilities to ensure we maintain high standards in our manufacturing process, produce excellent quality components and achieve on-time delivery for our customers.

Considerable investment has been made in our metal casting foundry, labs and facilities for new equipment, machinery and rapid prototyping technologies to support the diverse and constantly changing needs of the industries we support. We have modern facilities throughout, including high tech conference rooms enabling our customers to visit us in person and discuss projects.

Our metal casting foundry manufactures components in Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminium, Brass & Bronze, Super Alloys and Zinc. If you would like to read more about the grades we cast please visit the specific metal pages of the website.
