Delmar Die Casting Company Tooling

I have received several RFQ’s (requests for quote) from prior DelMar Die Casting Company customers lately. These RFQ’s are for zinc die casting parts. Delmar Die Casting Company left a large hole in the Southern California zinc die casting economy. Many of these prior Delmar Die Casting Company customers and potential Kinetic Die Casting Company customers have their die casting tooling in their possession. Not all the tools are what you would expect. Some are die casting tooling inserts and some are unit die tools.

I have visited some of these companies to inspect the die casting tools. In every instance, I am able to make parts using their die casting tools.

I have found that these customers typically need only a few zinc die casting parts a year. Some times a few hundred zinc parts or a few thousand zinc parts. It seems that the these customers have a need that other die casting companies are not willing to fulfill. I am happy to make the low quantities for these customers.

If you have your die casting tooling from Delmar Die Casting Company, and you need a local California zinc die casting source for zinc parts, contact me here at Kinetic Die Casting Company.

Die Casting Companies Remaining in 2010

Not to many years ago, there were over 70 die casting companies in the southern California area. Now, there are only 26 die casting companies remaining in southern California. Here is that list:

  2. Alloy Die Casting Company
  3. Aluminum Die Casting Company

  6. AQ Die Casting Company
  7. Arrow Die Casting Company
  8. Artmold Die Casting Company

  24. Pacific Die Casting Company
  25. Pioneer Die Casting Company
  26. Rangers Die Casting Company

Kinetic Die Casting Company is doing very well. A few other of these die casting companies are doing well but many of these companies are nearly out of business. Two “die casting companies” on this list are down to a “one man operation” while a some others only have a few employees that are called in to work when a new purchase order arrives. A few of these companies are barely making the monthly payroll and utilities expenses. In fact, one of these companies will produce parts in exchange for metal, because they are COD with their metal supplier and they do not have the cash to buy materials to supply their other customers with parts.

If you are a buyer of die casting parts, consider this:

  • If the die cast parts you are buying are more expensive everywhere else you look, your die casting supplier is hurting and may go out of business.
  • If your die casting supplier does go out of business, how do you get your die cast tooling?

Kinetic Die Casting Company:
The good news for Kinetic Die Casting Company customers is that we finished the 2010 year very strong.

We have a full work backlog for January 2011 and we look forward to obtaining greater goals in future years.

You should consider moving your die casting part requirements to Kinetic Die Casting Company if you are unsure of your present die casting parts supplier.

Quality die cast parts delivered on time.

Why Did These California Die Casting Companies Close

I was thinking of my recent discovery of the closure of Die Cast Manufacturing Company in Bloomington California. The other casualties in the California die casting industry came to my mind:

  1. Die Cast Manufacturing Company, Bloomington California.
  2. Modern Die Casting Company, Paramount California.
  3. Lansco Die Casting Company, City of Industry California.
  4. Pomona Die Casting Company, Pomona California.
  5. C&D Die Casting Company, Chatsworth California.
  6. Chapman Die Casting Company, City of Industry California.
  7. Spencer Die Casting Company, Vernon California.
  8. Coast Die Casting Company, Gardena California.
  9. Compu Die Casting Company Compton California.
  10. Universal Die Casting Company, Los Angeles California.
  11. Del Mar Die Casting Company, Gardena California.
  12. Los Angeles Die Casting Company, Commerce California.

These companies either closed or were sold to competitors. My company, Kinetic Die Casting Company, purchased two die casting companies from the above list. Why did the companies that closed, close? That question comes to my mind frequently. These companies are all recent casualties, 10 years or less. There is a much longer list of closed die casting companies from over the last 30 years.

Some of my remaining competitors are still doing poorly. Three or four of these remaining California Die Casting companies are actively trying to sell their operations before they have to close. The ones that I cannot make an agreement with, I hope will be purchased by another competitor, or I hope they can hang in there until California can get “economic recovery”. Good luck to all of us California Manufacturers.
