SHW Casting Technologies came into being out of the casting activities of Schwäbische Hüttenwerke, thus succesfully
continuing a century long tradition. The roots of iron mining goes back to the year 1365 when monks started mining
iron ore on the Schwäbische Alb.
The company's sense of tradition is reflected by the company logo which includes the crown of the royal house of
Wuerttemberg and the founding year 1365. History of SHW CT
Today SHW CT includes the facilities in Aalen-Wasseralfingen, Königsbronn and Torrington (USA). The company has
acquired a leading international position in the market for hand-molded large castings by consistently investing in
products for growth markets (e.g. large engines). The high-precision calender rolls manufactured in the Königsbronn
works take a leading position in worldwide papermaking. The Torrington works in Connecticut (USA) offers roll
services for papermaking calender rolls in the North American and Canadian markets.
Thus SHW Casting Technologies has an expanding field of activities in the American market.
