BIRN was founded by Heinrich Peter Christian Birn in 1896 and is now one of Northern Europe’s largest foundries and the parent company of the Vald. Birn A/S Group. We produce cast iron products for i.a. the automotive, pump, and hydraulic industries as well as various moulds for components.
Our headquarters is based in Holstebro where we have about 450 employees. Our annual production capacity is 45,000 tons at up to 5 Disamatic plants.
We offer our customers an optimum manufacturing process for a broad spectrum of machine-moulded castings weighing up to approximately 80 kg, in medium and large volumes, with and without cores.
Apart from the foundry, we also have our own machine factory at the same location as the foundry. Here, we process, paint and, surface treat the castings. Our machine factory has robust and high-tech production equipment in flexible as well as high-volume production cells which are under constant development.
One of our major core competencies is to offer all services required in connection with a casting project. We are the customer’s sparring partner during the actual design phase; we produce the model equipment; we cast, process, surface treat, assemble, and support our customers during the entire phase.
