Cerion LLC Purchases Assets of Intermet, Revstone
Released on July 23, 2008
According to its public relations representative, Cerion LLC, Plymouth, Mich., and parent company Revstone Industries, Paris, Ky., on June 24 won an auction for the business assets of Intermet Corp., Fort Worth, Texas, shortly after it had purchased diecasters Contech LLC, Portage, Mich., and Burlington Technologies, Burlington, Ontario, Canada.
According to the rep, Intermet, which was working through bankruptcy reorganization, was to be added to the holding company’s growing stable of diecasters by the end of July, when a court was expected to approve the purchase.
Cerion also confirmed the purchase of Contech, a diecaster that declared bankruptcy in January, and Burlington, another automotive diecaster, on June 22. Terms of neither transaction were disclosed.
“Cerion is building a manufacturing-oriented business focused on providing customers in a variety of industries with world-class products and services,” said Dave Doster, chief executive officer of Cerion.
According to press releases issued by Cerion, both Contech and Burlington will continue to serve the global automotive market with aluminum diecast components. In addition to the metalcasters, Cerion recently purchased the assets of a value-added finishing technology company and a provider of precision stampings for the automotive, trucking, industrial and consumer markets.
The Cerion representative declined to offer more information on the Intermet acquisition at this time.

Checker Motors’ debt to Walker Tool & Die has been paid by GM
Checker Motors’ debt to Walker Tool & Die has been paid by GM
by Julia Bauer | The Grand Rapids Press
WALKER — When Walker Tool & Die Inc. found its name at the top of the creditors list for bankrupt Checker Motors Corp., onlookers wondered if the supplier would ever see the $1.5 million it was owed.
But last week, the money came from another bankrupt company: General Motors Corp.
“GM wanted to move the tools out of Checker to use for other parts,” Bob Borgeld, Walker Tool’s general manager, said Monday. “The tools are going to Canada. Before they could ship the tools across the border, they had to pay us for them.”
A double whammy of plummeting auto sales and a tough economy led to Checker’s demise, ending its plan to reorganize and survive bankruptcy. Instead, two Canadian auto suppliers, Narmco Group LLC and Van-Rob Inc., paid $1.6 million to make the parts once built at Checker’s Kalamazoo base. Checker had been in business since 1922 and made its taxis until 1984. Since then, most of its business was parts production for GM and other automakers.
Tooling was transferred to Canada to make the new Buick Lacrosse.
Borgeld said Walker Tool, based at 2411 Walker Ave. NW, had liens on the tools so it expected to eventually get paid, despite Checker’s bankruptcy. But the delay dented the toolmaker’s income.
“It hurt our cash flow for a while,” Borgeld said. “Now, it helps an awful lot.
“You’ve got to really stay on top of it,” the diemaker warned. “I was making phone calls daily for the last four months, just to stay on top of what’s happening.
“It is a bit of a challenge.”

Mag Die Casting Companies
Die Casting Companies produce several parts from magnesium. The demand driven by magnesium’s lower weight than other materials, fuels the demand for magnesium automobile parts. The second most common application for die casting magnesium is electronic devices. Due to low weight, good mechanical and electrical properties, magnesium is widely used for manufacturing of mobile phones, laptop computers, cameras, and other electronic components using magnesium die casting.
Historically, magnesium was one of the main aerospace construction metals and was used for German military aircraft as early as World War I and extensively for German aircraft in World War II. The Germans coined the name ‘Elektron’ for magnesium alloy which is still used today. Due to perceived hazards with magnesium parts in the event of fire, the application of magnesium in the commercial aerospace industry was generally restricted to engine related components. Currently the use of magnesium alloys in aerospace is increasing, mostly driven by the increasing importance of fuel economy and the need to reduce weight. The development and testing of new magnesium alloys continues, notably Elektron 21 which has successfully undergone extensive aerospace testing for suitability in engine, internal and airframe components. The European Community runs three R&D magnesium projects in the Aerospace priority of Six Framework Program. Only recently has magnesium been used in magnesium die castings by die casting companies.
Incendiary use: Magnesium is flammable, burning at a temperature of approximately 2500 K (2200 °C, 4000 °F), and the autoignition temperature of magnesium is approximately 744 K (473 °C, 883 °F) in air. The extremely high temperature at which magnesium burns makes it a handy tool for starting emergency fires during outdoor recreation. Other related uses include flashlight photography, flares, pyrotechnics, fireworks sparklers, and incendiary bombs.
Magnesium die casting metal and its alloys are explosive hazards; they are highly flammable in their pure form when molten or in powder or in ribbon form. Burning or molten magnesium metal reacts violently with water. When working with powdered magnesium, safety glasses with welding eye protection are employed, because the bright white light produced by burning magnesium contains ultraviolet light that can permanently damage the retinas of the eyes.
