Meuselwitz Guss

What Meuselwitz Guss does

Meuselwitz Guss Eisengießerei GmbH is a German iron foundry founded in 1993 and headquartered in Meuselwitz, Thuringia. The company produces custom cast iron parts in a weight range of 250 kg to 85 tons, making it one of the leading foundries for large and heavy castings in Central Germany. It operates a dual production model combining a hand molding foundry (Handformguss) with a mechanized plant foundry (Anlagenformerei), producing grey cast iron (Grauguss/Lamellengraphit) and spheroidal graphite cast iron (Sphäroguss/Kugelgraphit), with ductile iron offered in standard, separately-cast, sample-extracted, and attached-gate variants.

The company's revenue model is project-based B2B custom manufacturing: customers engage Meuselwitz Guss from the construction phase through pattern making to final casting, with pricing determined per project via quote. The GTM motion is consultative enterprise field sales targeting industrial manufacturers across European and international markets. Distribution is direct, with no intermediaries, and the sales cycle is technical and design-integrated. Certifications including ISO 9001, 14001, 50001, and 3834-3, together with sector credentials (AD2000, ABS, Bureau Veritas, DNV, Lloyd's Register, RINA, Class NK), qualify the foundry for marine, offshore, pressure equipment, and safety-critical industrial applications.

Meuselwitz Guss is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the DiHAG Integrated Foundry Group, an internationally active German foundry conglomerate operating twelve independent subsidiaries across Germany and Europe. Within this group, Meuselwitz Guss serves a specialized role in heavy and large castings, with the broader DiHAG portfolio providing cross-subsidiary diversification and resilience against single-industry cyclicality. The company currently runs an active apprenticeship program with 19 trainees and was recognized as TOP-Ausbildungsunternehmen 2025 by the IHK Ostthüringen.
