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.

Vernon, California 90058
(Los Angeles, California)
Since 1931, Universal Die Casting Company, also known in the die casting industry as “UDC”, specialized in Brass Die Casting and Bronze Die Casting.
Universal Die Casting Company – closed their doors the last time February 21st, 2008.
Founded in Los Angeles, California in 1931, Universal Die Casting Company produced parts in brass and bronze in sizes ranging from 1/2 ounce to 20 pounds. Universal Die Casting Company produced parts for many industries such as: swimming pool brushes, spas, plumbing hardware, aircraft and irrigation equipment.
Universal Die Casting Company moved from the original location of 5001 Santa Fe Avenue in Los Angeles, California to 2052 East Vernon Avenue Los Angeles, California where the doors finally closed. Universal Die Casting Company was another good manufacturing company that closed their doors in California. Universal Die Casting Company had an auction for their equipment on Thursday, February 21st, 2008 at 10 AM.
Most of the die casting company competitors including Kinetic Die Casting Company, attended the auction but no one is happy to see another small die casting company that struggled everyday to stay in business – Close Down. Good bye Universal Die Casting Company.
