Service Updates Casting & Injection Moulding We are on the path to widen our list of services provided. Among those are casting, injection moulding, stamping, etc. with series manufacturing in mind.    First projects of this kind have seen cost reductions in the 25% vicinity compared to customer price targets. For reference, the quantities per position have been north of 5,000 to cover tooling costs and still achieve such efficiency in total.   Should you have any projects requiring these services, please contact our Global Supplier Network Manager Villem Hion by emailing him directly at villem.hion@fractory.com.   That way we can mould our capabilities to your needs.

So get quoting. Company News For the second year running, Fractory is featured in the Financial Times Europe's fastest-growing companies list, taking spot No. 194.    How did we achieve 118% YoY growth? You trusted us with bigger projects.   Most of you initially signed up to get quick quotes for your prototyping jobs. But many have found our Project Engineers a great asset to leverage in finding the right solution to your project & series manufacturing needs.   Thank you! Industry Articles Supplier Relationship Management Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) is a strategic approach to procurement that involves the development and ongoing management of partnerships with key suppliers.

Sandblasting Sandblasting uses compressed air to blast abrasive media against surfaces to remove paint, rust, and other contaminants from materials. It can not only remove scratches and casting marks but also etch surfaces to add texture or design. Copper Corrosion Copper forms a reddish-brown cuprous oxide layer during its electrochemical reaction with the environment. Unlike iron oxide, copper oxide does not disintegrate over time. It forms a protective film on the surface, called patina, acting as a shield to preserve the metal within. No longer want to receive these emails? Unsubscribe.
