Foseco has been associated with the metals Industry for over 75 years and today is acknowledged as a world leader in the supply of consumable products for use in the foundry industry with a presence in 32 countries and major facilities in Germany, USA, UK, Brazil, China, India, South Korea and Japan.
In April 2008, the company was acquired by Cookson Group plc and is now part of Vesuvius.
Foseco offers a wide range of foundry consumables and equipment, backed up by strong process knowledge and application expertise, to help its customers find better ways of producing better castings. In a typical foundry process, Foseco's products may be used in the melting shop, core shop, moulding line and pouring stages. Metal Treatment, Feeding Systems, Filtration, Coatings, Binders, Moulding and Molten Metal Transfer: a complete range of products which, especially when delivered in consultation with the Division's application engineers, can produce significant economic benefits to customers through improved process capacity, yield and efficiency.
The performance, quality and reliability of Foseco's product ranges, together with the input of the Division's technical staff working alongside customers' process engineers, are fundamental to the Division's reputation as a world leading supplier of foundry consumables.
Foseco began collaborating with ProService in 2004. The opportunities for synergies across a wide range of topics were clear from the very beginning. The partnership was made official in October 2007, when the two companies signed a Distributorship Agreement. As from that date, Foseco is the exclusive Distributor for ProService’s thermal analysis equipment. Again, in April 2009 they entered into another important contract, which assigns to the company owned by Vesuvius the exclusive agency, in the territory of the world, for the sale and promotion of the densimeters, the Coating Preparation Plants and the coating drying ovens for foundry manufactured by Comex Group. Finally, ProService acts as a consultant for Foseco, offering training and engineering services. The two companies continuously collaborate in the development of new products for the management and the control of the foundry processes.
