Kemlows Diecasting Products Ltd was founded by Charles Kempster and William Lowe in 1946 with the intention to produce diecast miniature toys from premises in London.
The company quickly moved from its original customer base into engineered components and the automotive sector.
In 1974, after two major expansions, a new purpose built facility was commissioned and constructed in Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire where the company remains based today.
Through the years, the company has expanded in both technology and customer base. In 2001, the company was purchased by the Teoli family.
Since that time the ongoing efficiency, through continuous improvements and capital investment, has moved the focus of manufacture into larger casting projects covering all industries and casting users, complementing the existing aluminium and zinc customer base.
At the design stage of development, CAD stations allow complete visualisation of customer designs enabling a clear introduction to FMEA and APQP options. This clarity of detail ensures “Right First Time” die development and substantial reduction of product and process lead times.
Kemlows has a proud record of investment leading to automated robotic casting cells.
To compliment this, vacuum casting technology, along with thermal control units at each cell ensures the highest quality of casting is reproduced each and every time.
The finishing requirement of the customer is met specifically time after time with CNC machining complimenting traditional finishing equipment.
Major investment in CNC machining has occurred over recent years. This has seen the opening of a dedicated on-site CNC machine shop in 2011. This shop now houses 12 state of the art CNC machining centres.
Recent major investment in the diecasting foundry has seen the introduction of 2 brand new diecasting cells, a Buhler 340 tonne and Buhler 660 tonne. Both cells include automatic robots for casting extraction.
