Foundry

Foundry was the first industrial sector we began operating in at the beginning of the 20th century, gaining essential experience and expertise over the years to guarantee excellence with regard to both raw materials and service to our partners. Our supply includes a complete range of bentonites and black minerals for green moulding as well as a complete range of silica and chromite sands for shell moulding.
Completing our supply is a moulding sand analysis laboratory service at our plant and a continuous support service provided at our customers’ premises.

Laviosa Chimica Mineraria is a member of Amafond, the italian Association of companies which produce machinery, plants, furnaces products and services for the foundry industry, since 1950.
