The company
A foundry active since 1960
Sa&Bar was founded in 1960 in Granarolo dell'Emilia. Over the years, the company has progressively refined its expertise in sand molding with self-setting resins (no-bake process). Today we work to client drawings, in close contact with technical offices and pattern shops.

The process
No-bake process: precision at every stage
The process begins with the preparation of molds in sand mixed with self-setting resins. This is followed by molding, core setting, pouring of molten aluminum, shake-out and fettling. Every stage is documented on a production work order.
