Dingzhou Dongfang Foundry Co., Ltd. (herein referred to as DDF) is a Chinese-Foreign joint venture located near Baoding City, in the Hebei Province, China. The annual production capacity at DDF is currently 180,000 Tonnes, however current expansion plans will allow DDF to produce 200,000 Tonnes annually. Individual casting sizes range from ounces to 24 Tonnes.

DDF produces a wide variety of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys and metal types (grey and ductile iron, alloy, mang-anese and high strength steels). On site, we also have both Aluminum and Brass capabilities. The aluminum foundry produces decorative and industrial castings, but is also used to produce patterns for ferrous castings. Aluminum patterns are used primarily for large volume production parts or wear parts on wood or plastic pattern equipment. Using light weight metal in the patterns ensures long term dimensional stability, while maintaining approximately the same pattern weight. DDF is one of the world leaders in the production of industrial counterweights for forklift, manlift and earth moving equipment. Although the majority of the production is dedicated to the manufacture of counterweights, we also produce castings for industrial machinery, aluminum smelting, oil field pumps and fire hydrants. We also produce water works fittings, municipal street castings (grates, frames, and manhole covers), and decorative castings (tree grates, bollards, lamp posts and park bench ends).

In order to develop and maintain our reputation as a world class supplier to OEM manufacturers globally, we have invested heavily in quality, service, technology and people. We are an ISO 9001:2000 certified company and as such have documented procedures and practices to ensure the highest levels of service to our customers. As a result of our rapid and continued growth, we have expanded our management and technical teams and ensure that they are trained in the latest technologies and foundry practices. Our management and engineering teams receive continuous upgrading at schools such as the Beijing Qinghua University and various foundry colleges in the region. We are also dedicated to providing our workers with regular classes taught by qualified instructors on the many varied foundry practices and procedures we use at DDF.
