What We Do
FoundryMax specializes in the design, development, and manufacture of high-temperature casting filters and refractories for the global metal casting industry. In addition to our products, we are committed to providing high-performance filtration solutions. We offer comprehensive filtration system design services, including gating system optimization, filter placement analysis, and custom filter designs for specific applications.
Our technology is widely used in a variety of casting processes, including sand casting, investment casting, lost foam casting, gravity casting, and die casting. Our engineering team works closely with customers to analyze their current casting challenges, recommend appropriate filtration technology, and provide ongoing support to maximize filtration efficiency.
Business Model
Foundry Max operates on a consultative technical partnership model designed to deliver maximum value to our customers. Rather than simply selling products, we collaborate closely with foundries to understand their specific challenges and production requirements. This process begins with detailed analysis of current casting defects, process parameters, and quality objectives.
To ensure quality, we use advanced analytical and measurement technologies, including ultra-high-temperature laser confocal microscopes, powder comprehensive property testers, intelligent sand strength testers, laser particle size distribution analyzers, and room-temperature flexural testers. These tools allow us to verify filter performance, ensuring internal structure verification and identifying any deviations before products leave the factory, providing critical data for continuous product improvement.

Expanded product range to include silicon carbide filters for iron castings, marking our entry into high-temperature filtration applications.
Opened our first international sales office to support growing export demand, particularly from European automotive foundries.
Added production line, tripling manufacturing capacity and adding advanced testing laboratories for product development.
Launched zirconia-based filter technology for steel casting applications after three years of intensive research and development.
Introduced automated production line, significantly improving production consistency and capacity for higher volume products.
Upgraded to ISO 9001:2015 certified company, establishing formal quality management systems
Established joint research initiative with leading metallurgical university to advance ceramic filter technology for ultra-high temperature applications.
Added ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications, demonstrating commitment to environmental and safety standards.
Opened advanced R&D center focused on next-generation filtration materials and innovative filter designs for challenging casting applications.
Completed expansion of our main production facility, incorporating state-of-the-art environmental controls and energy efficiency measures.
Foundry Max now operates multiple production facilities with distribution in over 50 countries, continuing to lead the industry in metal filtration innovation and technical support.
Founding Story
FOUNDRY MAX was founded by a team of experienced metallurgical engineers, starting with a small team of four engineers and a modest 500-square-meter workshop. We developed our first ceramic filters, specifically designed for the unique challenges of local iron foundries. These early filters demonstrated remarkable effectiveness in reducing casting defects, quickly attracting attention from foundries struggling with high scrap rates.
What distinguished our approach from the beginning was our commitment to both technical excellence and practical application. Rather than simply manufacturing products, we worked directly in customer foundries to understand their specific challenges and optimize our filters for real-world conditions. This hands-on, problem-solving approach became the foundation of our business philosophy and remains central to our operations today.
Growth Journey
FoundryMax has grown from a small domestic supplier to a global leader in foundry filtration technology with over 200 staff across multiple facilities. This growth has been marked by strategic expansion, with an emphasis on technical capabilities and customer support rather than simply expanding production.
Early growth was driven by word of mouth, with initial aluminum foundry customers experiencing significant quality improvements and sharing their results within the industry. As our reputation for technical excellence spread, we began to receive inquiries from iron foundries who faced similar challenges but required different filter performance. This led to our first expansion into silicon carbide filters, which required significant investment in high temperature ceramic expertise and equipment.
International expansion naturally began as export inquiries increased, ultimately leading to the opening of our first Indian sales office. As we entered new markets, we encountered a variety of foundry challenges, which advanced our technical understanding and product capabilities.
We’ve focused on deepening our technical capabilities through advanced R&D initiatives and strategic partnerships with leading universities and research institutions. This has accelerated our development of next-generation filtration technologies designed to meet the increasingly stringent requirements of industries like automotive and aerospace.
Throughout this journey, we’ve maintained our commitment to personal customer relationships, ensuring that even as we’ve grown, we’ve kept our focus on solving the specific challenges faced by each customer.
Facility Overview
