Grainger & Worrall (G&W), perhaps the world’s
leading specialist in casting compacted graphite iron (CGI) prototype engine
components, is to open its doors to motorsport professionals from across the UK
on 18 June.
The Bridgnorth, Shropshire company is to host the Motorsport Industry
Association’s (MIA) Summer Open Day.
The event will give delegates unprecedented access
to the automotive specialist’s prestigious high-performance engineering
facilities, which manufactures next-generation engine components for many world
championship-winning vehicles.
So secret has been some of G&W’s work that even
now some of the most challenging CGI components it has cast in this high-strenght iron material cannot yet be discussed in
public. Ford has been one of its most high-profile customers but it has other un-named customers far across the seas.
As well as seeing how G&W uses 3D digital sand
printing and computer tomography in modern motorsport component development,
attendees will also have the opportunity to attend a seminar showcasing how
specialist powertrain structures are designed and developed, as well as see a
working Williams F1 car; for which Grainger & Worrall has supplied
class-leading structural castings.
There will also be an opportunity for networking,
as well as the chance to see a selection of the vehicles for which Grainger
& Worrall supplies castings, light-weighting and prototyping solutions.
“We’re delighted to be hosting this year’s MIA
Summer Open Day,” commented Edward Grainger, director at Grainger &
Worrall.
“As well as offering visitors the opportunity to
learn about the innovative processes we use to develop class-leading solutions
for some of the world’s top motorsport teams, the day will include a VIP guided
tour of our award-winning facilities.”
Chris Aylett, chief executive of the MIA, added:
“As a leading supplier to some of the world’s most best-known motorsport and
niche vehicle manufacturers, Grainger & Worrall was a natural choice for
hosting our summer event.”
