Track record / selected milestones
A professional journey from long-horizon metallurgical research to patented invention, industrial entrepreneurship and full-scale manufacturing development.
Experience behind the perspective
Ingo J. Kraemer has worked across that distance: research and experimentation, patented process invention, design and implementation of a large industrial operation.
The milestones below are drawn from his first-hand account of his professional career. They represent past achievements, not claims of current customer engagements.
As Chief Design, Development and Manufacturing Engineer at Magna, Ingo undertook an R&D initiative focused on developing lost-foam casting technology for eventual full production-scale use in automotive manufacturing.
Engineering ambition / scientific foundation
Five years of research and development explored the technical and manufacturing challenges involved in moving an emerging casting process toward robust industrial capability.
Research / process development / scale-up
Ingo invented a patented lost-foam casting process for an automotive air-conditioning rotor—an illustration of the creative engineering and manufacturing insight at the heart of his work.
Inventive thinking / industrial process design
Ingo founded Diversa Cast, described by its founder as Canada's first lost-foam casting enterprise specializing in ductile iron and aluminum. He led the engineering design, process development, equipment selection and implementation alongside his team for a $65 million manufacturing facility.
Diversa Cast developed casting capabilities for automotive and engine manufacturers including Ford Motor Company and Detroit Diesel.
Founding vision / capital project / manufacturing capability
Extending his inventive curiosity beyond automotive manufacturing, Ingo developed a mineral and rare-earth exploration methodology he calls Divergent Flow. The method reflects his interest in applying original reasoning across technical fields; its exploration results are not presented here as independently validated.
Original exploration concept / divergent flow
Through NORINGO, Ingo now applies his combined experience in metallurgy, engineering, manufacturing and commercial implementation to clients seeking clarity on complex technical challenges.
Practical insight / independent perspective
Developing concepts and processes rather than simply adopting existing methods.
Understanding that process scale-up demands sustained technical experimentation and adaptation.
Integrating equipment, materials, layout and process requirements into an operational design.
Recognizing that sound engineering must also work within business and economic constraints.
The next step
Bring the challenge to someone who has lived the journey from idea to industrial reality.
