The SinterCast Value Chain

STEP 1: Operating Responsibility – SinterCast Operations

Sourcing:

Our sourcing consists primarily of electronic components, sampling consumables and server capacity.

>90% sourced within Sweden
Total steel consumption <25 tonnes/yr
No exotic or conflict materials
No human rights risks

Production:

As a supplier of process control technology and know-how, we don't have in-house production. Our activities primarily consist of:

Software development
Assembly of process control systems
Quality control checks on consumables
100% renewable energy at Technical Centre

Transportation:

Our cumulative shipping volume is limited, typically less than two or three cargo containers per year.

Shipments predominantly ex-works, mode decided by customer
>95% of business travel in economy class

STEP 2: Enabling Reduced Climate Impact – In the Foundry

Raw Material Sourcing:

Reduced weight with CGI means less metal melted, less sand, less water, less energy, less CO₂ and less transportation demand – both for raw materials and finished products.

10–20% less raw materials
10–20% less waste water
10–20% less energy and emissions

CGI Block & Head Production:

Right-First-Time means less scrap, less metal melted, less energy and less CO₂.

Reduced weight
Reduced scrap
Improved mould yield
Reduced transportation
Reduced energy
Increased profitability

STEP 3: Enabling Reduced Climate Impact – On the Road

Passenger Vehicles:

Compared to the nearest available petrol engine, SinterCast-CGI engines provide:

10–30% less fuel consumption; up to 40% when towing
10–30% less CO₂ emissions

Commercial Vehicles:

Compared to the previous generation of engines, SinterCast-CGI engines provide:

10–30% reduced weight
Significant reductions in CO₂, NO_x and particulate emissions
Improved pulling power and fewer vehicle miles

Compared to 1988, when SinterCast started its business activities, one commercial vehicle engine generated the same greenhouse emissions as 80 present-day SinterCast-CGI engines.
