Innovation in progress
Initially founded in 1883 as a blast furnace plant, the first foundry was established in Amberg in 1911 under the name Luitpoldhütte. We stand for traditional craftsmanship and for constant further development and innovation. The name Luitpoldhütte stands for highest reliability and extraordinary quality standards. We look back on a company history of almost 140 years.

Our Performance
Moves Machines Worldwide
We produce castings in gray iron, ductile iron and compacted graphite iron (CGI) from 100 to 1,000kg in small and medium series.
With our dedicated engineering team we are always open to develop projects in new markets
Our services for new projects include, among other things, professional consulting and support for casting design and the selection of the appropriate material. With our engineering team and our simulation capabilities with MAGMA SOFT (core shooting simulation, casting solidification stress simulation), we are ideally positioned for this. We also work with CREO and SolidWorks and can process all common 3D formats. In addition, we also offer machined castings with external partners.
Quality, Energy & Environment
The Superpower
The quality, environmental and energy awareness practiced in all areas of the Luitpoldhütte is also reflected in the ISO certificates.
