About StrikoDynarad

Over 50 Years of Expertise and Competence

StrikoDynarad is a wholly owned subsidiary of the StrikoWestofen Group, a global leader in the melting, holding and dosing of aluminum. StrikoWestofen GmbH has been developing its know-how over more than 50 years. The first energy-saving system was patented over 50 years ago and has been continuously improved over the years. Today it is known as ETAMax^® II.

Westofen GmbH and Strikfeldt & Koch had their own independent production centres in Germany until 1997 for Westomat^® automatic pouring furnaces and StrikoMelter^® melting and holding furnaces respectively.

1998 Strikfeldt & Co. GmbH and Westofen GmbH merged with its subsidiaries in Poland, StrikoPolska and Striko UK in England to form StrikoWestofen GmbH. The Mainz-Kastel and Wiehl sites became specialized centers for specific business segments, enabling the company to strengthen its global market presence.
Westofen GmbH also had a long standing relationship and reciprocal licensing with Dynarad in USA and this was incorporated into the new company.

1999 The company Dynarad was absorbed into the newly founded StrikoDynarad, San Leandro, California. The StrikoDynarad site was subsequently relocated to Zeeland, Michigan to serve as a sales and technical base for the North American market.

2002 StrikoWestofen group was integrated into Hochtemperatur Engineering GmbH, called HTE group, Wiesbaden, which specializes in engineering and constructing plants and parts for high temperature processing. The HTE group is an affiliate of Deutsche BeteiligungsAG.

2003 StrikoDynarad began series production of StrikoMelter^® in USA. This has lead to an expansion of the companies technical and development activities aimed at satisfying many of the unique demands of the N. American market.

StrikoDynarad serves the North American and Mexican market with the full range of products and customer support for all three founder companies. As part of its increased commitment to complete customer satisfaction, StrikoDynarad has placed great emphasis on efficient customer service and spare parts accessibility.
