New Chief Exec in Place at SinterCast

SinterCast AB installed its new president and chief executive officer this week, following its annual general meeting of shareholders. Dr. Vitor Anjos succeeded Dr. Steve Dawson, who retired from those positions and concluded a 35-year career with the company.

Anjos joined SinterCast as operations director in January 2024 and has been the deputy CEO since January 2026.

Stockholm-based SinterCast is the developer and licenser of the most widely used process for compacted graphite iron production, widely used by foundries worldwide. The company currently has 58 foundries in 13 countries using its process technology to produce CGI.

Compacted graphite iron (CGI) is a lightweight ferrous alloy that offers greater tensile strength, stiffness, and fatigue strength than gray iron or aluminum. It has gained acceptance for casting diesel engines, destined for commercial vehicles and industrial systems. SinterCast reported 3.0 million “engine equivalents” (50 kg - the estimated weight of typical passenger vehicle cylinder block) of CGI produced for 2025, or 150,000 metric tons. Weak North American demand in the second half of last year was indicated for that result

“As I step into my new role at SinterCast, I would first like to recognize the pivotal role that Steve has played in establishing CGI technology within the automotive industry and in guiding the company to profitability and long-term success,” Anjos stated. “I am grateful for the trust and support he has shown me over the past two years working together. I look forward to continuing to benefit from his experience and guidance in his ongoing roles as board member, consultant, advisor, and friend.”

Dawson joined SinterCast as its technical director in 1991 and was appointed president and CEO in 2002. He will remain with the company as a board member, retained consultant, and advisor.

“I have been very fortunate to spend my entire career focused on one thing: Compacted Graphite Iron,” Dawson offered. “The journey has brought challenge, learning, and achievement in equal measure, and above all, many good friends throughout the foundry and automotive industries, for whom I am thankful.

“Together, we’ve put more than 15 million fuel-efficient vehicles on the road with SinterCast inside,” he continued. “I look forward to watching the roll-out of the next 15 million.”
