Aluminum casting
BLMZ has been producing aluminum alloy shaped castings for almost 80 years. In the meantime several generations of plant casters developed a unique base of technologies and casting methods of all types of complexity for different branches of industry.
Balashikha casting and mechanical plant successfully produces not only mass- produced castings but also unique and individual ones. The plant also supplies components with preliminary and final mechanical processing.
We help engineers to make real products out of their designs
