About Us

Established in 1988, VA Technology is positioned as a world-class supplier of shellroom systems. We are a team of 200 employees, including design engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, manufacturing teams and support teams.

Design. Manufacture. Install. Support.

At VA Technology, we are redefining ceramic mold manufacturing through engineering excellence and automation. With expertise in mechanical, electrical, control, software, and systems design, we have transformed shell-making from a traditional craft into a fully industrialised process for precision, repeatability and efficiency in investment casting.

Recognised globally for our innovation and technical leadership, VA Technology delivers state-of-the-art shellroom systems tailored to the unique demands of the investment casting industry.

Investment casting has traditionally relied on manual processes, often resulting in inconsistent ceramic shell quality and reduced operational efficiency. VA Technology automated Shellmaker System, powered by the IC-series robot, delivers consistent, high-quality shell production while significantly reducing variability and labour reliance. Our proprietary process management software, IC-Crystal, offers supervisory control across both robotic and peripheral shellroom equipment. This includes slurry tanks, sanders, fluidised beds, conveyors, and drying systems. Each component is engineered to enhance precision and stability throughout the shell-making process. Supporting this is our Cerramix range, engineered specifically for slurry mixing and designed to integrate seamlessly with our shellroom systems.

With over 450 installations across the globe, our commitment to customer success goes beyond equipment. We offer bespoke training, remote diagnostics, and onsite support programs to ensure every shellroom system performs optimally.

We continue to provide complete, high-performance shell-making systems that reliably meet our customers’ manufacturing goals. Click here to view our shellroom solutions for investment casting.

We are a long-standing member of the European Investment Casters’ Federation (EICF) and Investment Casting Institute (ICI).
