Die-casting
Core competence of astria
Aluminium, zinc, and magnesium die-casting for small to medium series – with smart tooling concepts, stable processes, and ISO-certified series quality. As one of astria’s core competencies, die-casting reduces your unit and total costs right from the start, thanks to competitive tooling that makes even small and medium volumes economical. Die-casting is the ideal solution when dimensional accuracy, surface quality, and component strength are key. We combine cost-optimised toolmaking in Asia with European quality standards – from DFM and Moldflow to toolmaking and serial delivery, all from a single source.
Your direct benefits
End-to-end project handling
From individual parts and assemblies to complete products – including sourcing and coordination.
Process-oriented optimisation
We improve workflows along the value chain with a focus on quality, time, and cost.
Scalable production
We remain flexible: if production volumes increase unexpectedly, our network allows us to respond immediately and reliably adapt availability to new requirements.
Short payback time
Thanks to competitive tool manufacturing and optimized cycle times.
Faster to series production
Only a few weeks from first samples to full-scale production.
Single point of contact
Transparent communication throughout the entire project process.
High-end surface finishing
Superior corrosion and wear protection minimizes rework, downtime, and replacement costs.
Plannable & efficient
Coordinated processes according to European standards ensure reliable lead times and competitive unit costs.
Complete solution from a single source
DFM, toolmaking, heat treatment, surface finishing, and seamless documentation according to your specifications.
Best Practice
Robust housing with optimal heat dissipation
For a leading German company in the lighting industry, astria manufactures a large die-cast housing (approx. 900 × 450 mm) designed for efficient cooling. High requirements for heat dissipation, stability, and low weight are met through targeted material selection, precise machining, surface grinding of LED areas, and powder coating for outdoor use. From design freeze to series delivery, the project was completed in less than 20 weeks – a remarkable achievement both technically and organisationally.
