Research and Development – based on future requirements.

Continuous product and process development

Maintaining a status as a market leader is not all about the number of delivered UPCAST casting lines; providing our customers casting lines supplied with high quality and the latest technology is essential. Ongoing collaboration with customers and other stakeholders sets the direction for future innovations. The UPCAST pilot plant has two casting lines for testing and developing the equipment, products and process.

Various trials are continuously implemented at the UPCAST pilot plant, for example

  • testing new alloys
  • various rod / tube wall diameters
  • different shapes


In addition, samples can be manufactured for customers to review and test the quality in further processes. We also offer laboratory services in Pori.

We are available for development support and/or collaboration both at our pilot plant and at customers facilities. If you have ideas or needs for future development, please feel free to contact us!
