INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Foundries

Manufacturing capabilities, products, and factories in China

Foundries cast molten metal into components using sand, investment, gravity and high-pressure die casting processes. Chinese casting plants combine pattern and die shops, melting furnaces, molding lines and heat treatment, often adding machining for finished parts. Buyers can research foundries in this category by alloy family, casting weight and tolerance.
