DISA: a company that understands your industry, and turns your challenges into innovation. DISA is the leading global provider of innovative foundry technology and the world-leading supplier of complete foundry solutions and services as well as state-of-the-art moulding equipment. In order to understand the rather complex business that foundry solutions and services are, you might consider pulling up next to a DISA employee, the next time you stop your car at a red light. He or she will tell you that several of your car’s components most likely are made by way of DISA technology, including the brake discs, engine blocks, arms, etc. And if you strike up a good conversation with the DISA employee in question, you might be in for yet another treat that proves how DISA is truly a company that knows what’s cooking: A lot of the professional, top-notch kitchen ware found in cupboards and cabinets all over the globe, including yours, is made from DISA moulds. … So even though you may not be a foundry owner or iron works specialist, you are exposed to the final products of DISA daily – whether it is through being the proud owner of a car or a home chef whipping up a recipe for success with high-quality kitchenware. World-class engineering DISA is driven by an unwavering focus on leading the foundry industry and staying competitive for the benefit and satisfaction of its customers. The fact that the company is founded on innovation means that DISA continuously seeks to engineer change, build sustainability, lead technology, and shape industry. In parallel to DISA’s strong global outreach under the Norican Group banner – with 2,300 employees in 50 countries on 5 continents and a customer base of more than 16,000 companies in 100 countries – the company has strong Danish roots. DISA remains committed to a 200-year tradition of Danish engineering and world-class expertise. However, having the entire world as its workplace and market focus also means that DISA always strive to harness its collective diversity by way of mutual intercultural respect and global teamwork. In short: World-class engineering is what DISA brings to the table when foundries of all sizes seek to expand their operations – whether their expansion is happening in the Americas, Europe, India, China, The Middle East or Russia. Massive global footprint through the broadest industry offer and after sales DISA develops and manufactures a complete range of metal casting production solutions for the ferrous and non-ferrous foundry industries. A long-standing tradition of innovation and accumulating knowledge from all over the world has consolidated DISA’s global footprint and made the company a preferred partner that enjoys the trust and loyalty of foundries worldwide. DISA has the broadest industry offer with a moulding product portfolio, comprising vertical (DISAMATIC®), match plate (DISA MATCH) and horizontal (DISA FLEX) green sand moulding systems. Additionally, DISA provides complete, integrated foundry lines for a wide variety of customers – lines which, in addition to the moulding technology platforms, include complete sand plants, conveyor systems, cooling drums, cleaning solutions, CIM modules and core machine plants. Following the merger with Wheelabrator in 2009, placing DISA under the Norican banner, the DISA shot blast offer was rebranded ‘Wheelabrator’. You will find all information related to surface preparation and shot blast technology in the Wheelabrator section of this website. DISA Innovation DISA is a well-known brand name in the moulding industry because of our excellence in especially vertical but also horizontal and matchplate moulding. Our long history and strong experience with innovative moulding technology has entailed that DISA today delivers moulding solutions that will add value to any foundry. Our commitment and expertise within moulding means that we, throughout the years, have been able to keep improving our product range and ourselves. This effort has today resulted in a strong competitive situation within many different types of moulding solutions. The many dedicated engineers that make up our R&D team are continually supporting this positive development in order to secure DISA’s lead in the market, supplying innovative moulding solutions including sand preparation, moulding lines, core technology and comprehensive after sales services. The moulding market of today will not be the same market tomorrow. Like customers in other foundry-related markets, customers within moulding are in the process of consolidation – becoming fewer but larger while undergoing specialisation and automation. This market evolution means we have higher standards to meet and set which will keep DISA on top of these progressions and equipped to supply our customers with technology leading solutions. We will build on our customer relationships and work in close cooperation with the market to improve product costs, central controls, near net shape and higher total-up time.
