Sad News Joyner’s Die Casting Company – CLOSING
On Monday, I heard about Joyners Die Casting Company is CLOSING. There will be an equipment auction on December 11, 2014 10:00 am CDT for the Joyner die casting equipment. This is very sad news indeed. Another USA die casting manufacturing company closure. This is a continuation of a long sad trend of US Manufacturing companies that struggle and can not stay in business due to EPA issues, employee issues, legal issues and struggles for quality and profit. All this information is available to anyone searching online. Now there is a loss of $10,000,000 in our United States manufacturing capacity. The ones who hurt the worst are the additional 100 Minnesota manufacturing employees who are unemployed and on the street just in time for Christmas.

Why Use American Die Casting Companies
Why Use American Die Casting Companies. Metal casting is one of America’s most fundamental industries. There are about 1,994 metal casting companies in the entire country employing around 250,000 employees.
It is also one of the world’s most dynamic industries. Countries like the United Kingdom, and most notably China and India, have seen their local die casting companies grow rapidly in recent years. One of the main reasons behind it is that some American die casting companies have shifted their manufacturing operations to offshore locations, especially in the Asia Pacific region.
Cost cutting is one of the driving forces for offshore outsourcing. Offshore die casting companies offer lower labor, production, and raw material costs. In addition to it, strict enforcement of local environmental laws is also pointed out as among the main factors behind it.
How can the local die casting industry cope with this development? Why should businesses and consumers use American die casting companies instead of their offshore counterparts?
Quality remains the top edge of the local die casting industry. It is true that offshore companies offer lower overhead costs. However, this does not necessarily translate to getting the same, if not higher, level of quality that American die casting companies produce.
The North American Die Casters Association 
(NADCA) has reported a number of stories where some offshore die casting products and services turned out to be suffering from bad design and workmanship. This caused rework for the local companies that used them. Eventually, they end up spending more to correct such flaws. One local company was even sued because of an inferior product that they sold.
NADCA also questions whether offshore companies are indeed ISO certified. NADCA emphasizes that American die casting companies work according to the standards set by the association. Offshore companies cannot guarantee the same. By using offshore products and services, local die casting companies are in fact creating their own competition. In the final analysis, turning to offshore outsourcing to save money is more of a myth than a reality.

Premier Lakewood Die Casting Plant Closure
Premier Lakewood Inc. Plant To Close In May
Economy Cited As Reason; 75 Workers Affected
February 11, 2014
By Mallory Diefenbach (mdiefenbach@post-journal.com) , The Post-Journal
LAKEWOOD- Premier Lakewood Inc., a Michigan-owned company located on 201 Winchester Road in Lakewood, will be closing its doors on May 6, displacing 75 employees.
According to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification from the New York state Department of Labor, layoffs will begin on May 1 and continue through May 6. Economic reasons have been cited for the closure. Calls made to the plant on Monday were not returned.
According to a Post-Journal article from 2006, the plant has been in Lakewood since 1946. Premier Lakewood Inc. purchased the company from Lexington Die Casting in 2005. Lexington Die Casting, which had owned the plant since 1992, set to close the factory for good, leaving their remaining 45 employees out of luck. However, due to a collaborative effort between the previous owners, local development leaders and New York state officials, the jobs and factory alike were saved.
In the same 2006 Post-Journal article, Paul Brancaleon, president of the Michigan-based Premier Tool and Die Cast Corporation – which the Lakewood branch is a part of, went on record speaking of tripling Lakewood operations and stepping up production five-fold over the next three years.
Premier Lakewood takes in hundreds of tons of recycled aluminum every month, melts it down and channels it through dozen of die casters. This is then shaped into strong, light-weight parts, half for automobiles and half for other commodities.

It is sad to me to see another US Die Casting Manufacturing Company close their doors. I feel sorry for the 75 displaced workers in New York. I hope they will be able to find comparable work locally. We are experiencing growth in southern California. We wish you all the best luck for the workers and owners of Premier Die Casting Company for the future.
