Despite global challenges and complex market conditions, there are still exciting developments in the foundry industry – especially in Mexico. An outstanding example of this is the impressive new greenfield project by the MAT Foundry Group, which demonstrates advanced technology, streamlined project management and the enduring strength of international cooperation.

The project in Pachuca, Mexico, is an important milestone for the MAT Foundry Group and SAVELLI, a specialist in cast iron technology and green sand processes. The new foundry, which officially started production on 1 July 2025, specialises in the manufacture of brake drums and industrial discs, an important segment in the transport and heavy-duty market.

 

World-class equipment developed by SAVELLI

SAVELLI supplied the complete package of core equipment, including a horizontal moulding line and a comprehensive sand preparation and recycling system, through its Italian headquarters and its Mexican subsidiary Savelli Machinery Mexico.

The equipment underlines SAVELLI's technical expertise:

  • Mould size: 1,250 x 750 x (350/250) mm

  • Production capacity: 120 complete moulds per hour

  • Cycle time: 30 seconds

  • Cooling time: Cooling in the mould box up to 7 hours

  • Moulding system: Patented SAVELLI Formimpress® mould side compaction

  • Capacity of the sand plant: 120 tonnes per hour


From concept to production in just two years

The initial order was placed during GIFA 2023 in Düsseldorf, one of the world's leading trade fairs for foundry technology. It is remarkable that the entire plant was designed, built, installed and commissioned in just two years – a schedule that speaks volumes about the efficiency and commitment of both partners.

‘This project is a benchmark for what can be achieved when industry leaders with a clear vision and mutual trust work together,’ said a representative from SAVELLI. ‘We are proud to have contributed to the future of high-performance casting in Mexico.’

With this latest investment, MAT Foundry Mexico is solidifying its position as a key production site in North America, equipped with state-of-the-art automation, process reliability and the ability to meet demanding quality and volume requirements.

Look forward to more insights and images from the plant – a true testament to modern foundry expertise.
