KUHN's foundry is equipped with three molding machines. One of those three needed to be replaced. KUHN had two requirements for the new machine: they wanted to use their existing pattern plates and also use the old foundations of the machine. They needed to install a new machine in a limited space. Several suppliers were considered, but ultimately they found the best solution with Heinrich Wagner Sinto, and they decided to install the tight flask molding machine ACE.

Because the ACE machine requires less space, they were able to reuse their existing equipment, such as the sand system and the conveyors. They were also able to use their pattern plates without major modifications, allowing for the manufacturing of high-quality moldings at low cost. The installation itself was the best installation they had ever seen, and because the first molds were well compacted already, they were able to start pouring molds on the first day of operation. KUHN's foundry director Mr. Ancel spoke happily on the matter. "All of the challenges we had were resolved. Construction and startup all went very well, and we are very satisfied."
