About Kuhn Innovation
Kuhn Innovation is the development division founded in 2020 of a mid-sized foundry group based in Radevormwald. Originating from the design teams of Kuhn Edelstahl and M. Jürgensen, the company focuses on casting machines and their periphery. Its range of services covers the new construction of casting machines, retrofit solutions for existing systems, and the digitalization and automation of existing equipment. In addition, Kuhn Innovation offers energy management, machine safety and CE certification including risk assessment and documentation. A technical example is the radar-based real-time monitoring of the melt surface in the 120 GHz band, developed with partner ASINCO for use on induction furnaces in foundries. Customers come from the foundry industry; deliveries are made to Germany.
