The Jünkerath ironworks was founded on 14th May by Salentin Ernst Graf von Manderscheid – Blankenheim. Artistic reliefs, figures and stove plates were among the first products of the ironworks.
A clear business concept as well as qualified and motivated employees are the heart of our medium-sized company, which has been located in Jünkerath (Eifel) for 330 years. Our strengths in consulting, construction and production of high-quality castings have made Vulcast Germany GmbH a globally operating company.
We document all this every year through internal and external audits and the obtaining of corresponding certificates.
The management system is binding for the Vulcast Germany GmbH plant, Graf von Manderscheid Straße 1 in 54584 Jünkerath (corridor 10 30/6).
We will be happy to make our environmental policy available to interested parties on site on request.

The iron industry played an important role in the history of the Eifel, as it shaped the landscape and people in its time of prosperity (15th-19th century).
Therefore it was an essential factor for the cultural and economic development of the Eifel. The raw materials were on the doorstep, so to speak, as there were forests for the preparation of charcoal, ironstone was mined in nearby opencast mines and the streams and rivers drove the bellows and hammers of the first huts.
