Brake caliper housing — 60 tonne/month IATF programme
A German Tier-1 needed to reduce landed cost on SG Iron brake caliper housings without compromising IATF 16949 compliance. We shortlisted three Rajkot foundries in six weeks, managed the full PPAP Level 3 cycle, and achieved serial release four weeks ahead of programme deadline.

Excavator bucket teeth & adapters — wear-resistant steel castings
A US OEM building compact excavators required high-manganese wear-resistant steel bucket teeth and adapters. Their existing Chinese supplier could not meet updated ASTM A128 compliance. We identified two specialist foundries in Coimbatore with documented high-Mn steel capability and managed full material certification and first shipments.

Why Sourcinnov
What makes us different

There are many India sourcing agents. Very few specialise exclusively in castings and forgings with domain-level technical knowledge.

01
Casting & forging specialists — not generalists
Our team understands metallurgy, foundry process capability, pattern tooling, and NDT requirements. We catch quality problems before they become shipments — not after three months of field returns.
02
300+ pre-audited suppliers — not a cold database
Every supplier in our network has been visited, capacity-assessed, and quality-documented. You receive a capability profile with audit findings — not a company name and phone number.
03
Material & process-specific matching
We match your component to the right process — sand, investment, die casting, or forging — and the right material grade. We don't send your SG iron casting RFQ to a die-caster.
04
Single accountability from RFQ to delivery
Your dedicated project manager owns sample approvals, PPAP submission, export documentation, and shipment tracking. One contact. No handoffs. No finger-pointing.
Client voices
What buyers say

From first-time India sourcers to buyers managing multi-year production programmes.

"We'd failed twice sourcing Indian castings directly. The audit rigour and PPAP support from Sourcinnov gave us a first clean shipment — something we hadn't achieved in two years of trying."
TM
Thomas M.
Procurement Director · Automotive Tier-1, Germany
"The switch from China to India on our excavator wear parts was something we'd been delaying for two years. Sourcinnov made it methodical. Ten weeks, zero NCRs on first delivery."
JR
James R.
VP Supply Chain · Construction Equipment OEM, USA
"What I value most is that they understand the metallurgy — not just the paperwork. When our foundry had a micro-shrinkage issue, Sourcinnov's team identified it from the radiography before I'd formally raised it."
