Precision casting
The lost-wax casting process is a very old technology that makes it possible to produce complicated individual parts or even large series. Often, the castings do not need to be reworked, thanks to their high precision.
Engineering ceramics
The diverse properties of ceramic products offer an immense spectrum of possible applications. Components made of ceramics can now be found in almost all sectors of the economy.
Illuminants and the glass industry
Illuminants (lamps and bulbs) are becoming ever more efficient and energy-saving. Ceramic is used not only as an insulator but also as a carrier material. It is oxidation-free and heat-resistant.
Aerospace industry
In the aerospace industry, the search is on for new materials that can meet the exacting requirements. Ceramic is a promising and important material for this purpose.
Pharmaceutics and medicine
In the pharmaceutical and medical technology sectors, GTS is recognised as a major supplier of high-quality products.
Jewellery sector
As in medical and precision casting, jewellery castings are generally produced using the lost-wax casting technique.
Solar and battery industry
As a manufacturer of ceramic components, GTS was decisively involved in the development of solar cells from its early beginnings.
