Aluminium (spelled aluminum in the US) is a lighter metal used for many garden sculptures and outdoor products.
METAL CASTING MANUFACTURERWHAT WE WORK WITH HOW A PRODUCT MOVES THROUGH CASTING SUPPORT AROUND THE CASTING
Metal casting for garden and decorative products.
Three generations of casting experience, combined with 3D design and modern mould development.
Akbar Handicrafts is a family-run metal casting manufacturer in Moradabad, India. We cast and finish artistic and decorative metal products, mainly garden sculptures, ornaments and outdoor products, for retailers, wholesalers and brands.
Casting is more than pouring metal into a mould. The result depends on the design, the mould, the metal, the finishing and the checks made at every stage, so we look at the whole product rather than the casting alone.
Materials chosen for the product.
Material selection depends on the design, intended use, weight, finish, target cost and your requirements.

Do you cast aluminium or aluminum?
Both spellings describe the same metal. Aluminium is the usual spelling in the UK and much of the world, and aluminum is used in the US. We work with it whichever way you spell it.
Can you cast from my drawings or 3D files?
Yes. Drawings, samples, photographs and 3D files can all be used as a starting point for development.
Do you supply cast metal products for export?
Yes. We supply international customers and prepare export packing according to each product's size, weight and fragility.
