    Castings

    Castings are crucial parts of a machine and in some cases can replace a welded assembly. Several techniques can be used to produce these one-piece parts. Based on your specifications, we determine the most appropriate technique and select the most suitable supplier in our network. We supply machined and assembled castings in steel, stainless steel, aluminium, iron and copper.

    Counterweights

    The visible weights you see on agricultural, garden & park and civil engineering machines function as counterweights. We produce them to various weight specifications in small and medium-sized runs. We also arrange final finishing in accordance with your requirements. For example, sandblasting, coating or spray painting in all RAL colours.

    FAQs

    Why does AWON produce in China?

    First of all, all the necessary resources are abundantly available on-site: sufficient skilled employees, the right materials, modern machines and tools, qualified suppliers, and a good work ethic, which together ensure that we perform well and, if desired, are even capable of exceptional achievements for you.

    Secondly, because for European companies, it is often a financially attractive option to outsource their design process, production, assembly, and/or service to AWON, simply because many costs are lower in China. In addition, AWON also has a corporate structure that ensures optimal and completely legal use is made of international financial legislation.

    Does AWON also copy third-party products that are subject to intellectual property rights?

    No, AWON does not replicate products that are subject to third-party intellectual property rights, nor will we comply with any such request. As an applicant, you are responsible for checking this carefully before asking us to produce a product for you. However, if you are the full owner of a product that is protected by intellectual property rights, the choice is, of course, yours as the customer to outsource its production to us.

    Does AWON help us optimize a design so that it is easier or cheaper to produce?

    If you would appreciate that, absolutely! We can support you in many areas, and if there are areas where we cannot or are less capable, we will be honest about that upfront. AWON has a professional team of twelve experienced engineers in China who are happy to assist you with the (cost) optimization of your product design.

    Depending on the duration, scope, and nature of the collaboration between your company and AWON, this engineering capacity will be made available to you either free of charge or at competitive rates.
