MK Diamond Company Closed
Kinetic Die Casting Company started doing business and making die casting parts for MK Diamond Products in 2016, when Art Mold Die Casting Company Closed.
Then a few months later in 2017, Cox Die Casting Company closed. Cox Die Casting Company Closed. We received the majority of the die casting tooling from Cox Die Casting Company. I could not get anyone on the phone the last few weeks I have tried calling. I was getting a recording about the line is disconnected. When I called the 800 number, it went immediately to a busy signal. I sent numerous unanswered emails to many of the people I knew there, with no response. I drove down to their place of business on 4/09/24, and the building is closed down. I could not get anyone to answer the door. I found online details (January 2024 and February 2024) about a MK Diamond equipment auction where everything in the company was listed for sale. I also found a legal eviction process from their building, it is sadly clear that MK Diamond Products Company is Closed.
MK Diamond Company History Remembered. San Francisco, circa 1860 – MK Diamond Products business started in San Francisco in 1868 by Joseph Musto, a fifth-generation Italian stone-cutter and tile-setter, whose ancestors were known as master craftsmen. He brought the skills of his forefathers to his new home in America and established the Musto Steam Marble Mill. The trademark of the business was its pledge to quality work and service. The Musto family believed that, good enough was never really good enough. It is from this work ethic that MK Diamond continues its unrelenting pursuit to producing quality products.
MK Products in Los Angeles, circa 1940 – In late 1919, Joseph’s son, Clarence, came to Los Angeles. By 1949, the newly named Musto-Keenan Company had gained a reputation for making top quality diamond tools to cut marble and tile faster and more efficiently. Beginning in 1977, and under the leadership of Robert J. Delahaut, the company moved in a direction that has established itself as a world leader for precision power cutting tools and diamond blades. We are committed to making our products and services the benchmark by which the rest of the industry will measure itself.

MK Diamond Products had a lot of off shore competition so they had a difficult time financially. MK Diamond always gave feedback on their production part’s needs and communicated very well with our company, Kinetic Die Casting Company. We will miss the MK Diamond company and the people that worked there.

Aluminum Cast Parts are Widely Used in 2024
In the world of manufacturing and engineering, aluminum cast parts play a crucial role in creating a wide range of products. From automotive components to aerospace parts, aluminum castings are highly valued for their versatility, durability, and cost-effectiveness. In this blog post, we will delve into the reasons why aluminum cast parts are widely used in various industries across the globe.
What Are Die Casting Parts?
Aluminum is a lightweight metal known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, making it an ideal material for producing cast parts that need to be both sturdy and lightweight. Through the casting process, aluminum can be shaped into complex geometries with precision and accuracy, allowing for the creation of components that are tailored to specific requirements. This versatility in design is a key advantage of aluminum cast parts, as it enables manufacturers to produce parts that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
One of the main reasons why aluminum cast parts are favored in the manufacturing industry is their cost-effectiveness. Aluminum is abundant and relatively inexpensive compared to other metals, making it a cost-effective option for producing a wide range of components. Furthermore, the casting process itself is efficient and requires minimal post-processing, reducing production time and costs. This makes aluminum cast parts an attractive choice for companies looking to optimize their manufacturing processes without compromising on quality.
Another factor that contributes to the widespread use of aluminum cast parts is their excellent corrosion resistance. Aluminum naturally forms a protective oxide layer on its surface, which helps prevent rust and corrosion, making it ideal for applications in harsh environments or exposed to the elements. This corrosion resistance ensures the longevity of aluminum cast parts, reducing maintenance costs and extending the lifespan of products.
Furthermore, aluminum cast parts offer excellent thermal conductivity, making them ideal for applications that require heat dissipation or thermal management. This property is particularly valuable in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics, where efficient heat transfer is essential for optimal performance and safety. By utilizing aluminum cast parts, manufacturers can ensure that their products operate at peak efficiency while maintaining stable temperatures.
In addition to their mechanical properties, aluminum cast parts are also highly recyclable, making them a sustainable choice for environmentally conscious companies. Aluminum is endlessly recyclable without losing its inherent properties, reducing the demand for primary aluminum production and lowering carbon emissions. By choosing aluminum castings, manufacturers can contribute to a more sustainable future while meeting their production needs.
Aluminum cast parts are widely used in various industries due to their exceptional properties, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability. Whether it’s for automotive components, aerospace structures, or consumer electronics, aluminum castings offer a myriad of benefits that make them a preferred choice for manufacturers worldwide. As technology advances and industries evolve, aluminum cast parts will continue to play a vital role in shaping the products we rely on every day.
