APP are producers of cast iron & ductile iron anchorages that perform under the condition of compressional stresses (known as “pre-stressing” or “post tensioning”). These anchorages conform to Australian Standards 1830 and 1831 with special attention paid to the metallurgical characteristics that need to be met to satisfy the post tensioning industry. APP and its associated foundry, Ajax Foundry, are family owned and operated Australian companies, with over a decade of experience in the supply of casting components to the building industry.
