About Castimo
Castimo was founded in 2011 by Dr. rer. nat. Markus Fettig and Jens Fettig and offers complete solutions for High Pressure Slip Casting (HPSC) with a focus on sanitary ceramics and tableware ceramics. The company is one of the world's leading manufacturers of porous resin moulds and operates its own mould shop with model development, plaster, epoxy and porous resin moulds as well as a CNC milling service. In addition, Castimo manufactures and supplies casting machines of the ANKA series (ANKA 111 to 999), drying, glazing and firing systems (shuttle and tunnel kilns), material preparation, automation & robotics as well as intralogistics. As a turnkey provider, the company handles the entire project execution from feasibility analysis through plant planning and installation to commissioning and ramp-up. Production takes place at the modern production plant in Izmir, Turkey; customers are industrial companies worldwide in the fields of sanitary ceramics, tableware ceramics and technical ceramics.
