About Norican Group

The name Norican is derived from Noricum, an ancient Celtic kingdom that existed in the Austria/Bavaria area circa 15BC ‐ 500AD. This region was famous for its high quality Norican steel, which became the standard within the Roman Empire.

Norican Group remains true to its name by being the world's leading provider of technology and services to improve its customers’ metallic parts. From the “parts formation” phase of a customers’ operation (represented by DISA, our horizontal, match plate & vertical moulding technology offer) through to the “parts preparation” phase for cleaning, strengthening and polishing of the part (delivered by Wheelabrator, our airblast, wheelblast and mass finishing technologies) the Norican Group stands ready to lower its customers’ overall life cycle costs.
DISA is the leading global provider of innovative foundry technology.

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, reliability and commitment to providing its customers with competitive business value results in DISA today enjoying the trust and loyalty of leading foundries all over the world.
