Aluminum Die Casting Company Sales Cycle

The Sales Cycle for an Aluminum Die Casting Company is very long typically. Usually, a design engineer has a concept of a new aluminum die casting product. It could take three to six months to work out all the "bugs" in the design, like undercuts, wall sections and draft requirements in regards to dimensional tolerances.

Then the engineer sends his design to a buyer that solicits quotations from aluminum die casting companies for die cast tooling and aluminum die cast part prices. This process could take a few weeks to a month to decide on which proposal to take.

A purchase order for die casting tooling is placed with the aluminum diecasting company supplier. Die casting tooling takes about 12 weeks to complete.

When the tooling is complete, sample of aluminum parts are made from the tooling to verify completion and to dimensionally check the parts for errors. This process can take on or two weeks. The customer will usually take a few weeks to a month to approve the aluminum part samples.

Die casting aluminum part production will be shipped about two or three weeks after sample approval.

The Aluminum Die Casting Sales Cycle, from concept to production, took about a year.
