continued to elevate the quality organization to obtain successively ISO9001 - EN9100 - ISO13485 - ISO14001 - ISO18001 till the Nadcap accreditation


for the three destructive processes in 2010.


Company Philosophy Their employees are viscerally attached to their lovely countryside and are dedicated to keep in mind their environmental responsibility. Nature thinking is a mantra at PRECICAST.fr. As an example, all the exceeding calories from the process are collected to heat buildings. From this period, PRECICAST


passed progressively to one hundred employees who are highly qualified and really customer oriented. Some of them have been working in the company since they were apprenticeships and even some have graduated from the famous ESFF which is the French Forge and Foundry University. At PRECICAST. fr the polyvalence is applied to increase staff skills to succed together.


The Facility Over time, to prepare for market needs many expansions were made to enlarge the capacity and to integrate additional process. A big step was to finalize the plant autonomy on heat treatments with an air furnace fully automated and a vacuum furnace. Both processes are actually covered by customer agreements including Safran. The team strengthens the heat treatment management to reach the Nadcap accreditation as soon as possible. In 2014, PRECICAST started to melt


on vacuum the superalloys cobalt and nickel based. It was another big step


® non-


to gain new parts numbers for the last generation of civil aircraft engines. Now PRECICAST.fr is capable to pour and treat a body valve of 15 kg for an aircraft bleeding system. PRECICAST is recognized as a reliable partner to supply either serial components or spare parts and prototypes. Some of them are achieved from SLA wax patterns with onsite machines. More and


more, the customers


involve the technical team of PRECICAST. fr to optimize their projects feasibility from the designing step. Added to their experience our experts use the ProCast simulation software to reduce the timeline of development. The


rate of permanently


is at least 8% of the turnover. It is


annual focused


investment on


the


improvement strategy thus PRECICAST. fr reinforces the robustness of process by acquisition of robots and special machines. At PRECICAST, the shell- moulding, the cleaning, the pouring, the deburring the cutting, the grinding and the sand blasting are automatized. As the mastering of repetitiveness is the guarantee to fulfill the industrial performances. Plus this means less risks for the health of workers. Another share of investments is dedicated to upgrade the staff’s skills by internal and external trainings.


Looking Ahead PRECICAST.fr


likes challenges


combining investment castings and customer’s wishes. We manage different value added services as the machining the coating the assembling and the cleanliness. On cryogenic wheels we


take care of machining till balancing. On combustion nozzles for helicopters we check the flow rate with test benches onsite. Of course all equipment and


organization are combined according to a lean manufacturing scheme to serve the customers supply-chain. Month after month, PRECICAST is proud to keep the ‘’green light’’ on the customers scorecards. To


conclude, thanks to its


competitiveness, PRECICAST delivers components everywhere (Europe, India, China, North and South America, Africa,). The first half of its century is almost


ended but PRECICAST.fr steps foot in the second half already.
