Our proximity to Hydro Sunndal, Europe’s largest primary aluminum plant, serves as our "living laboratory," enabling us to test and refine our technologies in a real-world setting. This ensures that when customers worldwide invest in our solutions, they receive proven, high-quality equipment. With over 90% of our turnover coming from exports, we are committed to setting industry standards for quality and safety, particularly through our core technologies like the Low Pressure Casting (LPC) system and the Siphon Inert Reactor (SIR). Each piece of equipment reflects the dedication of our team of over 70 specialists, ensuring that our global reach is matched by our personal commitment to quality.
The Hycast Standard
At Hycast, we often say that our technology travels the world, but our heart remains firmly planted in the steep mountains and deep fjords of Sunndalsøra, Norway. As we release our latest film, we want to take a moment to reflect on what these words truly mean for us, our customers, and the global aluminum industry.
Listen to Ola Ulvund (CEO), August Riise (Project Manager) and Ola Furu (Head of Sales & Marketing) as they share how we bridge the gap between Norwegian craftsmanship and the frontlines of the international aluminum industry:
Our Sunndal advantage
One of our greatest strengths is our proximity to Hydro Sunndal, Europe’s largest and most modern primary aluminum plant. This isn’t just a neighbor; it is our "living laboratory."
Having this world-class facility in our backyard allows our engineers to test, refine, and validate our technologies in a real-world industrial environment. When a customer in Asia, the Americas, or elsewhere in Europe invests in Hycast technology, they aren’t just buying a machine; they are buying a solution that has been proven under the most rigorous conditions imaginable.
Engineering for a Global Market
While we are deeply rooted in our local community, our gaze is decidedly global. Today, more than 90% of our turnover comes from export. From massive installations in China to specialized upgrades in European casthouses, Hycast is setting the standard for quality and safety.
Our core technologies, such as the Low Pressure Casting (LPC) system and our Siphon Inert Reactor (SIR) for metal refining, are designed with one goal in mind: providing our customers with a competitive advantage. In an industry where precision is measured in microns and safety is non-negotiable, we deliver the "Hycast Standard."
Our reach is global, but our quality is personal. Every piece of equipment that leaves Sunndalsøra carries the pride of over 70 specialists - engineers, technicians and craftsmen - with it.
