Through mergers and acquisitions, the INTOCAST Group has grown over the decades into an enterprise that is now active globally. INTOCAST has a network of 12 German and 19 foreign sites, employing 2,000 staff members worldwide, with a consolidated group turnover of approx. 450 million euros per annum (as of April 2023).
The INTOCAST GROUP OF EXPERTS unites specialists from all around the world that have one thing in common: we are all passionate about always finding the best solution for our customers. For that reason, we are constantly investing in research and development – in superior product economy solutions and more sustainable usage of available resources.
