ABOUT US
DUCA was founded in 1978 to fulfill the need in the foundry industry for an independent repair facility, with technical knowledge, capable of rebuilding any make or model of induction melting equipment. Repairs had to go beyond returning the equipment to its original design. The equipment had to be updated to the current design standards as well as incorporating the operating requirements of the customer.
Over the decades, DUCA has become a leader in the heating induction field built on dependability you can count on. Committed to continuous improvement and uncompromising on product quality and service, call DUCA when you have a problem, we will be there no matter whose equipment you operate.
