gh AUER GUSS relies on IPG for magnesium components

Following the delivery of a high-pressure die casting (HPDC) machine, ItalPresseGauss (IPG) is now installing a complete HPDC cell that will help gh AUER GUSS GmbH produce magnesium components for one of the world's leading luxury sports car brands.

Based in Amberg, Germany, gh AUER GUSS supplies high-quality light metal parts to a wide range of customers, from automotive and e-bike manufacturers to sports equipment makers and medical technology experts.

For over 35 years, the die casting specialist has used IPG HPDC machines to fulfil the company motto – ‘Success through quality’. When a time-critical project arose that made it possible to meet the production demands of a world-renowned sports car manufacturer, Christoph Hundseder, CEO of gh AUER GUSS, knew immediately who to turn to.

Mr Hundseder said, ‘I have complete trust in IPG. When we needed to ensure that we would have a refurbished machine and a new casting cell available by a certain date to meet the production needs of one of our largest customers, I had no concerns. Thanks to the professionalism of Marco Giegold and the IPG team supporting us on this project, we will definitely achieve our goals.’

gh AUER GUSS has been working with IPG since the early 1990s, and IPG HPDC machines (with and without toggle levers) and automated cells can be found in every foundry in Amberg. These are used to produce parts from aluminium and magnesium and provide AUER GUSS with the business flexibility they need and value.

Mr Hundseder added: ‘We supply components – often highly complex ones – in a range of aluminium and magnesium alloys. There aren't many HPDC suppliers that offer high-performance machines and cells for both metals. And I don't think there is anyone else besides IPG that can also offer automation expertise in-house. We have been benefiting from this comprehensive offering for a long time, and we look forward to further strengthening this collaboration in the near future.’
