At Castex we have a wide experience in many different methods of manufacture. Castex started trading in 1972 as a consultancy business specialising in light metal foundry. Within a few years the Company became established as a manufacturer with an expanding product range based on aluminium and magnesium alloy castings.
Today these products comprise of a range of hardware, which is distributed through wholesale channels popular in the building, contracting, agricultural and horticultural industries.
A very important aspect of our business is our long- standing involvement in animal health products. We are specialists in the manufacture of sustained and pulse release devices for the delivery of trace elements and drugs to cattle and sheep. We hold many patents in this field.
The devices we produce are essential to animal wellbeing in that they control parasite infestation and prevent deficiency diseases such as grass staggers and milk fever. Castex has a tablet manufacturing facility that supports this area of manufacture.
Metal casting, automated machining, tablet manufacture, plastic injection moulding, fabricating and assembly are all carried out on the Castex site. This enables us to maintain our high standards while still servicing our industries competitively.
