The Foundry


KSEW has well planned and up-to-date Foundries and Pattern Shops. These facilities were established in late fifties and progressive modernization/replacement of equipment/machinery has been effected according to technological requirements. It is one of the oldest foundries in Pakistan having over 40 years of experience in producing wide varieties of castings according to international standards. KSEW has acquired and adopted a special technology whereby it can produce different grades of cast iron and S.G. iron according to the international standards.

There are three Foundries at KSEW:

  1. The Cast Iron Foundry (15 Metric Ton a Piece)

  2. Steel Foundry (3 Metric Ton a Piece)

  3. Non-Ferrous Foundry (750 Kg. a Piece)

These Foundries are working in conformity to ASTM, BSS and DIN norms and a well equipped laboratory capable of carrying out all types of chemical, physical, mechanical, metallo-graphic, radiographic, ultrasonic and dye penetrant testing of materials is available in-house to ensure conformity of castings to specifications.

Metallurgy & Testing Laboratory


The Foundries are supported by a well-equipped laboratory having facilities for chemical, mechanical non-destructive testing and metallo-graphic examination. The Laboratory also renders examination and testing facilities on commercial basis. KSEW's Laboratory is ISO-9002 Certified and its results are accepted by all the international classification societies.

  1. Shot/Sand Blasting Machines

  2. Electronic Gas Cutting Machines

  3. Plasma Arc Cutting Machines

  4. Shearing & Punching Machines

  5. Cold Bending Presses (450/850 Tons)

  6. Deep Drawing Presses (1500 Tons Tripple Action)

  7. Plate Bending Rolls

  8. Stress Relieving Furnaces

Over the years, KSEW has emerged as one of the few heavy machinery manufacturers of the country. It can undertake a wide variety of engineering and structural works for Oil Refineries, Storage Installations and Oil Based Industries as well as Engineering Workshops, Cement & Sugar Factories etc.

Besides Handling many turn key projects, with or without collaboration of foreign suppliers, KSEW is providing a strong base for establishment of various industrial units necessary for the progress & prosperity of the country.
