he diverse minimalist, retro and geometric styles of Nordic brass handles depend on different professional molding processes. Each molding technology has unique advantages in structural density, dimensional accuracy and design flexibility, which directly determines the durability, grip feel and scene adaptability of the final hardware. High-end Nordic hardware brands select targeted processes according to product positioning, rather than adopting a single generalized production method.

Sand casting & lost wax casting are mainly used for retro Nordic and special-shaped handles. Molten high-purity brass is poured into customized precision molds and cooled and formed at a constant temperature. This process supports complex curved surfaces, arc transitions and irregular artistic shapes, perfectly restoring mid-century modern and Scandinavian vintage design details. After multiple deburring and trimming procedures, the casting defects such as sand holes and trachoma are completely eliminated, meeting the delicate texture requirements of Nordic decorative hardware.

Hot die forging is the preferred process for high-strength practical brass handles. The brass billet is heated to 800°C and pressed and formed by high-precision dies under huge pressure. Forged brass features compact internal metal structure, no internal gaps, higher hardness and toughness than cast brass. It is not easy to deform after long-term frequent switching, and is very suitable for kitchen cabinet handles and large wardrobe pull handles that require high stability, fully adapting to the long-term use habits of Nordic families.
