Molten metal in the INTAT foundry
Foundry & Quality Capabilities

Our Process

From melting and molding through finishing and laboratory verification, INTAT's two-plant operation is built around repeatable automotive production.

Production Overview

A connected manufacturing process.

INTAT begins with iron melting, continues through DISA molding and in-house Isocure core production, and supports final product quality with dimensional and metallurgical testing.
