Now being available to select partners exploring next-generation continuous casting

Co-developed with SMS group, Nexcast® is a breakthrough in continuous casting—now open to select partners exploring next-generation flat-rolled aluminum production.

For decades, Golden Aluminum has operated at the leading edge of continuous casting, building deep expertise in transforming molten aluminum into high-quality coil with speed, consistency, and efficiency. Nexcast® represents the next step forward: a modernized, optimized continuous casting system engineered to meet today’s demands for performance, sustainability, and operational flexibility—and built with the belief that progress shouldn’t stay siloed.

Why Nexcast® Matters

The aluminum industry is being asked to deliver more—greater efficiency, tighter consistency, and stronger energy and sustainability performance. Meeting that moment takes more than ambition. It takes better technology.

Nexcast® was developed to help meet those demands, with a design philosophy centered on:

  • Modern engineering and control systems for stable, repeatable operation
  • Efficiency gains that support lower energy intensity and smarter resource use
  • Adaptability by design, enabling configurations tailored to different production requirements

Our Why

At Golden Aluminum, our mission is rooted in a simple belief: progress toward a more sustainable future accelerates when manufacturing breakthroughs can be accessed by others—anywhere in the world—especially when those breakthroughs happen here in the U.S.
That’s why we’re making Nexcast® available to select partners. Not as a departure from how we operate, but as an extension of what we believe: the industry moves forward when proven advances can spread.

Built to Fit Different Mill Needs

Every mill has its own constraints and requirements—product mix, throughput targets, facility footprint, and long-term growth plans. Nexcast® was built with that complexity in mind.

For organizations evaluating next-generation continuous casting, Nexcast® can be engineered to support different operating needs and configurations—through a collaborative approach led by Golden Aluminum and SMS group.
