One-Stop Shop Manufacturing Solutions

Our Die Casting division is in the same industrial park as our plating and powder coating facilities. This ensures an on time delivery of the finished product to our customers.

Advantages of die casting

There are many advantages related to die casting:

They are highly productive and efficient processes to obtain large quantities of materials.

The alloys obtained have a long service life thanks to their high strength and hardness.

They are alloys that are easy to machine.

They have excellent quality surface finishes, so they do not require a subsequent aesthetic process.

The parts obtained have a higher resistance and hardness than other processes.

Complex shapes – ideal for intricate designs

High cost-effectiveness, efficient for series production

Fast production for an increase in your company's productivity.

The alloys used have a long service life thanks to their high strength and hardness

The pieces maintain their dimensions over time

Excess metal and scrap metal can be recycled, reducing waste

What is die casting?

Die casting is a manufacturing method for producing metal parts with high precision and excellent surface finishes. It involves creating a high-quality steel mold, melting metal (such as aluminum, zinc, and magnesium), and injecting it into the mold under high pressure. The material cools and solidifies rapidly, forming the part, which is then ejected and finished by removing the excess material. Rigorous quality controls ensure that parts meet strict standards.

Industries Served

Die casting is a process used to obtain parts for the following industries:

Automotive
Solar
Construction
Electronics
Aerospace
Appliances
Furniture
Medical

Characteristics and properties of the processed material

Materials with the following properties can be obtained:

Durability
Hardness
Electrical and thermal conductivity
Stability
Corrosion resistance
Consistent parts, with exceptional precision
Wide variety of sizes and weights in machined parts
Thin-walled parts, reducing material usage

Other Services

We also offer vacuum impregnation and leak testing for castings. This process consists of filling porosity voids with a chemically resistant polymer sealant. The resin is cured in the last step of the process which turns it from liquid state to a solid polymer.

In addition to our in-house services such as CNC machining, plating, and powder coating, we have created strategic partnerships with a metal stamping company. With this strategic partnership, we may be able to offer you a packed, complete and finished product delivered to your door.

Additional equipment

Robots to extract parts from all machines
9 Trim Presses (20 to 30 tons)
5 CNC Fanuc Robodrill machining Centers
2 HAAS CNC machining centers
3 milling and drilling CNC centers
3 Custom made indexing machining centers

Transportation Service

We provide pickup and delivery services throughout the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. Our Import-Export department offers full logistical support for handling goods across the Tijuana/San Diego border.”
