SinterCast is the globally leading supplier of process control technology and know-how for the reliable high-volume production of Compacted Graphite Iron (CGI). The technology is primarily used in diesel engines for commercial vehicles, as well as larger passenger vehicles such as pick-ups and SUVs. CGI is stronger than traditional iron, which enables downsizing, increased thermal and mechanical loading, and increased engine performance. SinterCast charges its customers a running production fee for every tonne of CGI produced using the company's technology, ensuring a lucrative recurring revenue stream.
The company is dependent on automotive demand, and more specifically demand for commercial and larger passenger vehicles such as pick-up trucks and SUVs with diesel engines. Regulation and technology transitions relating to fossil fuels and diesel in particular pose risks to the business model.
