Investment Casting from the Investment Castings Experts
Investment Casting from the Investment Castings Experts

Established since 1972, Dean Group International (DGI) are UK manufacturers of Investment casting. Formerly known as MIC, the company is market focused and rebranded successfully 2 years ago with a brand new web site.

Still privately owned, the company has grown significantly in recent years through a proactive marketing approach and a clear focus on providing the service and quality levels that our customer’s demand, at highly competitive prices.

One of the main drivers for the rebrand is that DGI have been developing supply partnerships with Far East companies since the year 2000, and this has lead to a natural progression to supply of other types of product.Whilst investment casting (IC) are still the largest part of the business, we now also source other types of product such as commercial grade IC, sand castings, die castings and any number of additional processes including machining, heat treatment, plating and polishing.

Whether you want an investment casting, sand casting or die casting, we can work from basic information. Send your drawing data, ideas or sample to us for evaluation – from this we can provide a budget price. This is a free service and may help you to establish whether your idea is commercially viable. With our years of experience, we will evaluate your part and offer the best solution- this may be investment casting but could equally be one of our other processes.
