At Sirris, I support foundries and their customers in solving technical challenges related to casting processes. Drawing on more than 20 years of experience, I help companies improve product quality, optimise production processes and develop innovative solutions for foundry applications.
In addition to my role as technical advisor, I am responsible for planning and coordinating testing activities in our laboratories, ensuring that tests are carried out efficiently and according to the required quality standards.
Are you facing a casting-related challenge or looking to validate a new solution? I would be happy to discuss how I can help.
