Gummidipoondi Manufacturing Facility
Opened in May 2025, SAF's new state-of-the-art foundry at Gummidipoondi, Tamil Nadu, represents a major investment in capacity, layout, automation, material handling, quality and responsible manufacturing.
The facility has been designed around built-in quality and a flexible product mix. It brings together boxless loop-line moulding for parts up to 350 kg, floor moulding for large castings up to approximately 3,000 kg, modern induction melting, mechanised handling, finishing and in-house inspection resources.
Facility Highlights
Installed capacity of 12,000 tons per annum.
Approximately 150,000 sq. ft. of built-up area.
Two moulding lines for varied product weights and volumes.
Boxless loop-line output up to six full moulds per hour, subject to product requirements
Floor-moulding capability for castings up to approximately 3,000 kg
Provision for future 5-ton furnace expansion.
Multiple cranes with capacities up to 20 tons across production bays.
Dedicated finishing, heat-treatment, shot-blasting and paint-booth resources.
Designed for Built-In Quality
The improved layout supports controlled material movement, defined production flow and easier coordination between moulding, melting, finishing, quality and dispatch. Dedicated conveyors, mould heating, coating, mechanised handling and weighing systems help reduce variation and improve process visibility.
Positioned for Growth
The facility expands SAF's ability to support global OEM programmes, mixed-weight products, large castings and value-added supply while preserving the foundry knowledge developed since 1959.
