UPCAST®
Story
The upward continuous casting method, better known as the UPCAST® system, was originally developed within the Finnish Outokumpu Group in the late 1960s. The outcome resulted from a synthesis of innovative thinking and extensive production experience. The first UPCAST® production line was installed in 1971 at the group’s own facilities in Pori, Finland. This first production line has been followed by a continuous string of others delivered worldwide, establishing UPCAST® as the undisputed market leader in its field.
As a result of Outokumpu Group’s decision to divest its copper business, a new independent company, UPCAST OY, was established in 2006 to carry the UPCAST® legacy into the future. UPCAST OY is the exclusive supplier of the original UPCAST® process.
It is not by chance that UPCAST® today enjoys its market-leader status. It is the inevitable result of combining market insights and production knowledge with technical expertise. Today, at UPCAST OY, we continue to embrace both the innovative spirit and practical understanding of factory-floor realities that characterized the early UPCAST® pioneers. Cutting-edge technology, combined with a strong commitment to customer support, provides all members of the UPCAST® family with unique performance.
