Companies’ contribution can make a difference to the social and economic wellness of the communities around them.

This is not just a cliché or an abstract concept: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a value more relevant than ever for modern companies, because it also affects their image and reputation. The European Union defines it as the capacity to meet the needs and expectations of the customer and other stakeholders, such as staff and the local community.

In 1973 the Chill Casting division of Fonderia Morini srl was founded. The division is specialized in the production of aluminium alloy castings through the technology of chill casting. Since then, the division has been enriched with innovative equipments, such as new furnaces, and state-of-the art technologies thanks to automation, bringing the level of competitiveness and quality in production to an international standard.

In July 2021, Fonderia Morini passed an audit by ALSTOM, a leader in the Italian railway industry and one of the major players in the same sector worldwide.

Choosing Fonderia Morini means choosing a guarantee of quality. Through strict internal controls, we ensure that our products and processes meet the highest standards in every aspect.

It is thanks to this dedication that we have achieved important milestones, such as inclusion in Leonardo’s official supplier list. The company,  formerly Leonardo-Finmeccanica, is a leader in the defense sector both in Italy and abroad.

But it is not only internal checks that our products, plants and processes go through. In fact, we also rely on quality and safety agencies and authorities to ensure impartial judgment in the evaluation of our work. In this article we offer a list of the certifications we have been granted over the years by certification bodies such as ASIT, TÜV SÜD and Bureau Veritas.

If you are looking for a practical, affordable and high quality solution for the creation of foundry patterns for your products, look no further. The Pattern department is an important strategical activity within Fonderia Morini, and one of our company’s strengths.

Fonderia Morini is specialized in the design and production of foundry patterns of any type and model, from wood to resin and aluminium. We dedicated our Pattern department a page on our website, which we recommend you visit, with a comprehensive photo gallery.

In this article, we would like to explain in more detail why the presence of an in-house pattern department is of strategic importance within the context of a constantly evolving market. First, there is the convenience of an end-to-end and in-house workflow, which is also fast and efficient. From the CAD/CAM design up to the sample casting, Fonderia Morini can take care of the entire pattern production process, whether it is aimed at creating a pattern for foundries or an aluminium mould. Of course, this comes with obvious savings in terms of time and money for the customer. In addition, the quality is improved, as the models are made by our in-house staff in compliance with the operational characteristics of our plants.

But there is more. Manufacturing from scratch isn't the only workflow to be typical of foundry patterns. Another procedure is becoming more and more frequent and strategically important: pattern recovery. Thanks to the year-long refinement of our know-how and to the technical skills of our expert operators, Fonderia Morini is able to recover and adapt patterns and moulds from other manufacturers, for example previous suppliers who, for some reason, have gone out of business, and make them fully operational again. Recovering an existing model allows us to speed up the production for new customers, and it obviously represents an opportunity for the customers themselves to save money.
