Integrated manufacturing for complex investment casting customers

Published - 28th May 2026

Investacast produces complex, near-net-shape investment castings for customers in aerospace, defence, energy and industrial sectors. The precision and complexity of what we cast is what defines us – and that specialism is strengthened by the wider capabilities of Expromet Technologies Group, with real benefits for customers.

Manufacturing Today recently featured Expromet CEO Rob Guest making the case for integrated manufacturing as the smarter model for OEMs, Tier 1s and the engineering businesses that supply them.

“Customers want one manufacturer who can supply a turnkey solution across multiple manufacturing processes and reliably deliver high-quality, finished components. Expromet Technologies Group is one of the few companies that can offer this.”

Vertically integrated metal manufacturing solutions

Investacast sits alongside Haworth Castings (sand and gravity die casting), Metaltech Precision (CNC machining) and Tiverton Fabrications (high-end welded assemblies) as part of Expromet Technologies Group. Together, these businesses offer customers an integrated manufacturing route from advice on design for manufacture (DfM) through to finished component, with consistent quality control and a single point of accountability throughout.

For Investacast customers, this deliver practical benefits. A near-net-shape investment casting – however precisely produced – typically requires CNC machining, and may need fabrication, surface finishing or inspection before it is ready for use. Where those stages are handled by separate suppliers, every handoff adds lead time, communication risk and potential quality variation.

For engineering and procurement teams in aerospace, defence and energy – where component complexity is high and supplier failures have real operational consequences – working with a group that can manage more of that process under one roof represents a significant reduction in risk: fewer handoffs, clearer accountability and consistent standards from casting through to completion.

Further, where customers require a range of metal components or fabrications, Expromet Group companies can provide a one-stop shop, offering a comprehensive supply chain partnership.
