Cascade Die Casting/ Pacific is another example of how difficult it is for a die casting manufacturing company to stay in business in California. Cascade had a long history of being a great supplier here in California and Cascade Die Casting/ Pacific will be missed by their former employees, their suppliers and their customers who need aluminum die casting parts.
Kinetic Die Casting continues to be strong while other die casting companies are closing down or selling out.
