American Die Casting Companies

Why Use American Die Casting Companies. Metal casting is one of United States of America’s most important industries. In United States, there are about 1,994 metal casting companies in the whole country providing employment for about 250,000 employees.

Also, metal die casting is one of the world’s most dynamic industries. Countries like the United Kingdom, and most particularly China and India, have seen their native die casting companies grow swiftly in last couple of years. One of the chief reasons behind their growing die casting industry is that some American die casting companies have moved their manufacturing operations to foreign locations, specifically in the Asia Pacific region.

The need to cut cost drives companies to outsource their die casting. Foreign die casting companies have lower labor, production, and raw material costs. In addition to the cost, strict enforcement of local environmental laws is also cited as a reason to outsource die casting.

How can the native die casting industry manage with this growth? Why should businesses and customers use American die casting companies instead of their offshore counterparts?

Quality remains the best aspect of the local die casting industry. It is true that offshore companies offer lower overhead costs. Nevertheless, this does not necessarily translate to getting the same, if not higher; level of quality that American die casting companies produce.

The North American Die Casters Association (NADCA) has stated a number of stories where some offshore die casting products and services turned out to be suffering from corrupt design and workmanship. This caused rework for the local companies that used them. Ultimately, they end up spending more to correct such flaws. A certain local company was even sued because of a mediocre product that they sold.

NADCA also questions whether offshore companies are really ISO certified. NADCA accentuates that American die casting companies work according to the standards set by the association. Offshore companies cannot promise the same. By using offshore products and services, native die casting companies are in fact generating their own competition. In the final analysis, turning to offshore outsourcing to save money is more of a fable than a reality.
