About Us

GCast Incorporated traces its humble beginnings to 1970 when it was established as a small cupola fired cast iron family owned foundry composed of only 10 people. It was incorporated in 1975 and has since grown through the years. By 1994 it had become the second largest commercial jobbing foundry in the Philippines and continues to maintain this distinction.

The company manufactures metal castings and fabrications for the mining, cement, quarrying, automotive and other related industries for both the domestic and export market. The company is adept at casting alloys such as stainless and manganese steel, hi-chrome, ni-hard, copper alloys, ductile and gray iron. The company is equipped with complete machining facilities and sells a third of its castings partially or completely machined.

The foundry's production capacity is approximately 200 tons per month on a full employment level and can produce castings from less than a kilo to 3 tons in weight per piece.

The foundry is equipped with a complete laboratory for the testing of metal composition, metallographic analysis, hardness test and other non-destructive methods to insure total product quality. The engineering section is staffed with highly qualified personnel for drafting, designing and other engineering works. It is ably supported by a well-equipped pattern shop that can do wood, metal and plastic patterns together will all the jigs and gauges.

The company prides itself in its ability to produce a variety of alloys with controlled chemical analysis and metallurgical structure. GEFC business is built on personal service to our customers and guanranteed performance of our products.
