70 years
Iron casting
for the industry

Our company

For years, CAB and FOMAR foundries have been synonymous with professionalism and expertise in the world of iron casting.
Technical skills, deep knowledge of the various production processes, a careful look at each stage of execution, craftsmanship and, above all, the enthusiasm and passion of their workers, have made CAB and FOMAR foundries a synonym for excellence and avant-garde “made in Italy“.

Experience gained over 70 years of uninterrupted activity has made it possible to develop workmanship that is executed to perfection, in which ancient craftsmanship is fused with industrial technology, service flexibility and a customer relationship based on transparency and listening.

CAB Foundry brings with it the excellence of the territory in which it is located. The industrial quality of the manufacturing companies and the constant look towards innovation, typical of the Emilia-Romagna region, make CAB Foundry a perfect example of Italian production capable of dialoguing with the rest of the world.

The FOMAR Foundry plant in Marradi is a benchmark for the production of large iron castings. Many years of experience in sand-resin moulding has always been directed towards the organisation of a defined production process, capable of ensuring quality production.

Sustainability

CAB and FOMAR companies have always shown care for environmental sustainability and have always kept a constant focus on improving the working environment, as well as the health and safety of their employees. This led to a company able to react to the challenges of the time, innovating without ever giving up the quality and professionalism that have always distinguished it.

Social Responsibility

We strongly believe in upholding the personal and professional dignity of each worker, so we are committed to promoting wealth creation and welfare within the company and ensuring high working conditions.

Circular Economy

Foundries represent an important example of circular economy. The technology behind cast iron processing is based on the reuse and recycling of metal materials that have reached “end-of-life,” which are then used in the manufacture of new products.

Transparency in relations

We work according to principles of transparency, honesty and fairness to clients, suppliers and partners. Each workmanship is fine-tuned with clarity and cooperation with the client, starting with feasibility studies and following each stage of the production cycle.

Cast iron

Casting technology allows cast iron of different types, which vary according to different production processes.

Over the years, moulding, casting and inoculation techniques have evolved, resulting in increasingly high-performance cast irons with highly specialised technical characteristics.
