The history of the foundry stretches back hundreds of years and has played a key role in developing the modern living standards and economic progress that we enjoy today.
Whether they have produced applications for cars, or products such as brake disks, the foundry in the modern age has driven progress across the globe. However, the climate crisis that looms over our daily lives, necessitates the industry embracing more sustainable methods of production.
A company hoping to act as a driving force behind the transition is Fritz Winter. The company's foundry is a supplier and partner for the global automotive, commercial vehicle and hydraulic industry. They develop and manufacture rough and finish part components, as well as complex system components.
The German family heritage business is driven by an entrepreneurial spirit first harnessed by the company's founder - Fritz Winter. The company prides themselves on achieving their goals through the innovative strength and reliability of their workforce. It has created a culture that has driven a willingness to constantly change and meet the demands for sustainability.
"To fulfil the needs of the future, sustainability goals can only be achieved by putting sustainability thoughts at the front of the plant engine and not try to heat them at the back end," said Markus Semmier, Head of Plant Engineering and Environmental Protection at Fritz Winter. "That has been part of our new vision for the future - walking on that path to be an integrated engineering partner."
The company has displayed a desire to innovate from the beginning, with the company using almost 100% steel scrap for high-tech products and finding new ways to conserve resources since their inception in 1953.
That innate ability to constantly innovate will be needed to meet the considerable demands of the world today. The company has created an innovative ecoCasting process that is the building block to the company's sustainability approach. The casting process is highly advantageous, as Thomas Von Reth - the Head of R&D at Fritz Winter, explains: "The customer will come to us and will want to develop an engine design together, to make it castable.
"They also want to fit it into our sustainable processes. So we are able to machine the product components and have them optimised for production, so we can reduce the energy we have to put in and the waste and water that we need for iron casting."
These processes will also be driven in the near future by the Euro 7 regulations that will aim to reduce the level of toxic fumes produced by vehicles. They are day to day advancements that will also be met by more overarching commitments that will see the company aim to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045, as well as drastically reducing CO2 emissions by the beginning of the next decade.
Fritz Winter is living proof of what can be achieved when helping to solve a global issue is integrated into your everyday business practices.
