What attracted you to Ecrimesa Group / MimecriUSA?What really caught

Investment casting is one of the oldest metal manufacturing technologies still in use, yet it remains one of the most reliable methods for producing complex, high-precision components. With origins tracing back to 4,000 BC, it has evolved into a modern process capable of meeting the most demanding standards across aerospace, automotive, medical, and defense sectors.

Although investment casting is a well-established industrial technology, its potential continues to expand, particularly in producing larger, more complex, and high-performance metal components. In recent years, the process has evolved considerably thanks to advances in materials, simulation tools, and manufacturing equipment. Balancing volume, quality, and complexity Today’s market reflects a dual trend in investment casting.

At Ecrimesa Group, we believe that behind every well-executed process, there’s someone coordinating it with precision and vision. In today’s interview, we speak with Andrea Pontones, who shares her experience navigating change, teamwork, and the day-to-day challenges of planning in a manufacturing environment. 1.
