Six casting processes, eight CNC machines, heat treatment, finishing, a full testing lab and 3D printing on one 100,000 sq ft site in Bhavnagar, India, so parts reach buyers in North America and Europe finished, inspected and documented.
An in-house foundry keeps every step of a casting on one site: design, patterns, melting and casting, heat treatment, machining, finishing and inspection. Nothing travels between suppliers, so there are fewer handoffs, shorter lead times and one record that follows the part from melt to dispatch.
Trushape Precision Castings is an ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and ISO 13485 certified foundry on a 100,000 sq ft site in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, India. More than 180 people run six casting processes, eight CNC machines, heat treatment and finishing, a testing laboratory and a 3D printing lab, shipping finished parts to buyers across the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom and the European Union.
Follow one flanged casting through the plant. It is designed, patterned, poured, heat treated, machined, tested and packed without leaving our gate, and one record follows it the whole way.
Engineers model the part in 3D CAD and run a casting simulation to see how it fills and solidifies, then adjust sections and gating before a single mould is made.
For series work the pattern is injected in wax. For prototypes and small batches it is printed in our 3D printing lab, with no tooling to wait for.
The alloy is melted in our induction furnaces and poured into the mould of whichever of our six processes suits the part, with a sample from the same heat going to the spectrometer.
Castings are annealed, normalised, quenched and tempered or case hardened in our own furnaces, to the condition the material standard and your drawing call for.
Bores, faces and threads are finished on our CNC turning centres and VMCs, including two 4-axis Makino machines, so the casting leaves ready to assemble.
The part is measured on the Zeiss CMM against your drawing, and checked by ultrasonic, dye penetrant, radiographic or magnetic particle testing where your order calls for it.
The finished part is packed for export with its EN 10204 3.1 material certificate and dimensional report, and ships by sea or air to North America or Europe.
Every station sits on the same site, so a casting moves a few metres to its next step instead of across the country. Pick a station to see its equipment, or watch a part flow through all six.
Engineers optimise geometry for castability, merge welded or bolted assemblies into one casting, and choose the right alloy and process before a mould is made.

A casting that visits four companies waits at every gate: transport, queues and another incoming inspection. Under one roof it moves straight to the next station. Watch the same part take both routes.
Our customers typically see lead times 30 to 40% shorter than with a multi-vendor chain. The exact saving depends on the part and the steps it needs.
The hardest part is never one step. It is the handoffs between them. So we keep casting, machining, finishing and testing under one roof, with one purchase order and one team accountable.
Mechanical, chemical, non-destructive and dimensional testing all happen on site, recorded against the heat number so every result traces back to the metal in your part.
Test bars from the same heat pulled to prove tensile strength, yield and elongation.
Hardness checked after heat treatment, to the scale your drawing names.
Izod impact tests for toughness where the material standard calls for it.
Optical emission spectrometers check the chemistry of every heat against its grade.
Internal flaws and wall thickness in heavier sections.
Surface-breaking cracks and porosity on non-magnetic alloys.
Internal soundness of critical sections, to the acceptance level you specify.
Surface and near-surface flaws on carbon, low-alloy and martensitic steels.
Three-dimensional measurement against your CAD model and datums.
Fast optical measurement of profiles, small holes, radii and edges.
Electrical conductivity of copper and aluminium alloy castings.
Leak tightness of valve bodies, housings and other pressure-retaining parts.
Material certificates to EN 10204 3.1 as standard, and 3.2 when your order calls for independent inspection, with dimensional, NDT and heat treatment records traceable to the heat number.
Each station on the site was added for the same reason: to take another handoff out of our customers' supply chain.
Trushape Precision Castings opens in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, focused on investment castings for engineering and industrial components.
The first ISO certificate sets up the quality system that every later certificate and export customer builds on.
CNC turning centres and VMCs arrive, turning Trushape from a raw casting supplier into a maker of finished parts.
Exports to European customers begin, and heat treatment, plating, polishing and other surface treatment move in-house.
ISO 13485 certification by DNV opens medical work, and 3D printing is paired with investment casting for rapid manufacturing.
A Zeiss CMM, a Keyence vision measuring machine and a Spectromaxx spectrometer bring laboratory-grade inspection on site.
Lost foam, shell molding and gravity die casting for aluminium join the line-up, alongside ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certification.
100,000 sq ft, more than 180 people, six casting processes, eight CNC machines, a testing lab and a 3D printing lab, with IATF 16949, CBAM reporting, a carbon footprint and an EcoVadis rating in progress.
Quality, environment, health and safety, and medical-device systems are independently audited across the whole site, so every station works to the same rules and records.
Trushape holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and ISO 13485. We do not hold AS9100, IATF 16949, PED or ASME approvals, so parts for those sectors are made to your drawing, material standard and inspection plan, with full records. IATF 16949, CBAM reporting, a greenhouse gas footprint and an EcoVadis rating are in progress.
