They were also entrusted with the responsibility of manufacturing tools for a 2,000 tonne die casting machine and supplying production parts. What is to be noted here is that they were to deliver all these at a cost lower than sand and gravity casting processes and within a time frame of 16 weeks.<br /><br />{googleAdsense}<br /><br />JVM Castings finished designing and manufacturing of the tooling before time in collaboration with one of their partner toolmakers and delivered within strict deadlines.<br /><br />Commenting on the successful commissioning, Bob Freeman, Group Sales Manager at JVM&rsquo;s said, &ldquo;We&rsquo;re exceptionally proud of our work, especially as it takes us outside our traditional automotive market and into exciting new building markets.&rdquo;</p>
