LAVC Manufacturing Day with Congressman Tony Cárdenas
On Friday October 21, 2016 Kinetic Die Casting Company was one of the manufacturing companies that participated in the Los Angeles Valley College LAVC Manufacturing Day with Congressman Tony Cárdenas. This was the MANUFACTURING SHOWCASE, that included Training & Career Opportunities. There were from 200 to 250 high school kids at the event. We are hoping that many of them will look into manufacturing as a possible career course. There were also several unemployed adults that are participating in the LAVC retraining program. This event was a huge success.
This is a message from our Congressman Mr. Cárdenas:
“Throughout my twenty years in public service, and as a former small business owner, my goal has always been to support the growth of small and mid-sized businesses in the San Fernando Valley. Knowing just how critical small businesses are to our community and the U.S. economy, I would like to personally invite you to attend a Manufacturing Day Event on October 21st that I am hosting. Special guests include Dr. Erika Endrijonas, President of Los Angeles Valley College; Mr. Richard Brent, CEO of Louroe Electronics, who is a member of the District Export Council of Southern California and the 2015 winner of the U.S. President’s Export Achievement Award; Sector Strategies Manager of Goodwill SoCal Tracy DiFilippis; and Assistant Principal of North Valley Occupational Center Liz Peñuela. Our goal is to foster a robust conversation around manufacturing, and I know your perspective will provide much value.”

Rangers Die Casting History by Kineticdc
Sadly, Rangers Die Casting Company is closed. Another California die casting parts manufacturing company is closed. Rangers has been around for a long time. I am personally saddened that Rangers is closed. The owners and managers contributed a lot of time and resources to the local die casting community.
Here is the history I found on their website.
Rangers Die Casting Company 10828 S. Alameda Street Lynwood, CA 90262-0127 was founded in 1946 by three die makers with a passion for quality tooling and that tradition continues today. Rangers Die Casting initially was involved in the production of several different toys. The first was the die for a rubber toy reproduction of the Army Ranger knife, which was the basis for our company name. We also produced cast metal jacks and a replica of the Offenhauser Midget race car that remains today as the Rangers Die Casting logo.
After several years, the toy business began to fade and we repositioned ourselves as a full-service aluminum die caster serving the growing automotive and aerospace markets in Southern California. Over the next six decades, Rangers Die Casting continued to modernize, invest in new equipment and develop services to meet the needs of Original Equipment Manufacturers throughout the West Coast. We provide these companies with a wide range of aluminum die cast parts, aluminum die castings, aluminum alloy castings and metal castings. In addition, Rangers Die Casting offers complete turnkey service including aluminum die cast product design assistance, die cast design, precision aluminum alloy die casting, machining, finishing and assembly of cast aluminum components.

All of us in NADCA (North American Die Casting Association) chapter 30 will miss the Rangers Die Casting staff and their assistance. Rangers was active in every one of the local chapter 30 NADCA activities. They worked tirelessly to make the NADCA Chapter 30 activities a success. I will miss working with and talking to the staff from Ranger’s at our NADCA chapter 30 board meetings, the Annual Installation Dinner, the Annual Day at the Races in Santa Anita, as well as our annual golf tournament.
Good luck guys in your future endeavors!
