About BENNINGER GUSS AG
BENNINGER GUSS AG is an iron foundry based in Uzwil, Switzerland, whose origins go back to a foundry founded in 1873 within the Benninger group of companies. The company produces cast components to individual customer requirements – including mould making, material selection, additional machining and on-time delivery. Raw or fully machined components are offered from a quantity of 1, with unit weights up to 4.5 tonnes. A focal point is additive 3D production: with an S-Max system from ExOne, sand casting moulds are printed using the binder jetting process, enabling fast and reliable production even for one-off parts and small series. In addition, the company offers a warehouse and stock parts service. The products go to customers from various industrial sectors who need high-quality castings with specific requirements.
