MCC INTL Expands production facilities. (Jan 18, 2018)

Centrifugal casting company now able to manufacture world's largest bi-metallic spun cast sleeves.

Cecil, Pennsylvania, USA, December 11, 2017 – MCC International, a subsidiary of Austria-based ESW, has added 10,000 square feet (930 square meters) to its foundry building in Cecil, PA, near Pittsburgh.

The company made the capital investment to meet growing demand worldwide for large bi-metallic spun cast sleeves used in metals production facilities. MCC’s new melting facilities feature a vertical spin caster that can produce bi-metallic spun cast sleeves in diameters up to 60 inches (1.5 meters) and in lengths up to 44 inches (1.1 meters). The sleeves can weigh up to 13 tons (11.7 metric tons).

“This significant upgrade allows us to use the most modern technology while improving worker safety and operating efficiencies at the same time,” says Trevor Dunthorne, MCC International’s president and CEO. “With our new equipment, we’re able to supply the world’s largest beam mills in North America, Europe, Asia and South America with rings they can use to roll the largest section I-beams used in the construction industry.” By manufacturing metallurgically superior bi-metallic spun cast rings to replace static cast mono block rings, MCC is able to provide mill builders and I-beam manufacturers with a product that can deliver superior performance over a longer lifespan.
