Roston Castings Limited was established in 1966 and has been working with ferrous and non-ferrous materials during this time. We supply to a number of key industries including automotive, engineering, aerospace, food and architecture meeting the demands of a wide range of applications. We are always keen to develop further business relationships. We have built and maintained close working relationships with some major companies over the years including the JCB Group for over 40 years and Areva Transformers (formerly GEC) for over 35 years. We have also built up a network of carefully selected sub-contractors, to use where necessary, based upon their reliability and performance.
At Roston Castings Ltd., our aim is always
Being situated on the outskirts of the Peak District, Roston Castings is very conscientious of the environmental impact the business operations have. Controls have been put in place to comply with the Environmental Protection Act (EPA) legislation. These assist us to minimise the impact we have on our neighbours and surroundings. In 1995 the local electricity provider presented us with their Environmental Award for the installation of equipment which reduced our environmental impact. We are now using local hydro power project to provide up to 50% of our power needs.
We can help our customers in many ways, but always with the aim of providing economic effective solutions. We can assist in the design and development of the casting so customers get value for money.

3D CAD/ CNC files can be created from fabrication samples, sketches, existing castings, drawings or existing data. These files are used to create 3D models so that customers are presented with a visual insight of the design before production. This data can be later used for prototypes and production tooling.
Machining costs on existing designs which are being sand cast can be cut by reducing or eliminating machined faces. Improved accuracy of die castings can reduce machining allowances and in doing so will mean that the final casting weight is lighter – Hence cheaper.
Prototype patterns are machined traditionally from drawings or CAD data. They are produced usually in Ureol, or Resin. They are used to manufacture castings from which the customer can verify the design by fit and function or other testing before laying down production tooling.
