Despite an industrial and socio-economic situation marked by the pandemic, Gurelan keeps improving in terms of quality and efficiency. Thanks to this ISO 14001 standard on Environmental Management Systems, Gurelan´s quality label continues to progress as a reference in the injection casting of Zamak, Magnesium and Lead parts.
Read moreNo industrial activity is possible without machine tools. From the automotive industry to electronics, including the injection moulding of parts in Zamak, Magnesium and Lead carried out by Gurelan, machine-tools are the driving force enabling the production for other sectors. Now, this global activity is hand tied: decrease in production, cancellation of international fairs, uncertainty... Gurelan analyses the situation of this fundamental industry for the whole economy.
Read moreThe automotive sector is already preparing for the next step: optimisation of the industrial processes that will enable the definitive take-off of the electric vehicle. Today, gas-assisted injection moulding can further reduce the weight of future electric vehicles without jeopardising safety and comfort. As part of its strategy of continuous innovation, Gurelan is studying how lighter parts of Zamak and Magnesium could be obtained thanks to a new gas-assisted technique that produces hollow sections out of thick metal parts.
Read moreThe COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically accelerated the development of new technologies. In this new context defined by the growing need for new electronic devices of all kinds, die casting of Zamak parts for the electronic industry has reinforced its strategic value as an effective, economical and top quality solution when producing certain components destined for the electronics sector.
Read moreHow does a small industrial company from Mendaro (Gipuzkoa) manage to hobnob with major industrial companies? Die-casting of parts in hot chamber is a world apart, very complex and extremely demanding. Since 1934, Gurelan has been offering different, innovative and effective solutions in the field of Zamak, Magnesium and Lead moulded parts for all kinds of sectors and customers, including the automotive industry, cosmetics, firearms and electrical equipment. How do they achieve this?
Read moreThe reactivation of economy after the brake caused by the pandemic at a global level will bring a change in production, use and consumption trends: Industry 4.0 is just around the corner. We are now witnessing the early digitalization of many activities, a process that companies were already contemplating but has, in many cases, been accelerated to overcome the obstacles raised by the crisis.
Read moreIn varying degrees, the COVID-19 crisis affects all industrial sectors. Given the demand and capacity, Gurelan has not stopped the production of zamak, magnesium and lead parts for all kinds of sectors, as well as their marketing and distribution. However, the industrial sector must expect a large-scale change in its global supply chain. The solution lies in technology.
Read moreMoulds are the invisible main characters of a huge number of consumer goods, particularly in pressure injection of Zamak, Magnesium and Lead parts. Whether creating a small component for a vehicle or a fully finished product, such as a door knob, the mould is a vital part of the value chain: it is not only essential on the manufacturing line, but also acts as a genuine fingerprint by ensuring unique traceability.
Read moreHow can we explain the advantages of Zamak´s casting in a simple and effective way? Gurelan wants to make it easy: after reading this blog, you will understand everything about Zamak part injection. Why is this material a dream come true for hot chamber die casting processes?
Read moreAt Gurelan we continue to review some of the materials we use to create die-cast parts for all types of industries. After Zamak and Magnesium pieces, now it is Lead´s turn: a metal we´ve known for millennia and which allows us to manufacture parts with unique properties.
