Hyatt Die Casting Company a Short History of a Great Competitor
The History of Hyatt Die Cast & Engineering Corporation – For nearly seven decades, Hyatt Die Cast & Engineering Corporation has been part of Southern California’s manufacturing story, building a reputation for precision, engineering expertise, and dependable die casting. Founded in 1956 in El Segundo, California, the family-owned company began its journey during a period of rapid growth in American manufacturing and aerospace.
In 1966, Hyatt relocated to Cypress, California, where the company became an established member of the local manufacturing community. Over the decades, Hyatt grew from its early roots into a sophisticated manufacturer serving customers in industries where quality and reliability are essential. Its customer base has included companies in aerospace, defense, medical, electronics, communications, commercial, and gaming markets.
A major part of Hyatt’s success has been its ability to provide more than die casting alone. The company developed an integrated, turnkey approach that brings engineering, tooling, die casting, machining, finishing, assembly, and other services together. Its engineering team works with customers from the design stage, helping transform concepts and drawings into manufacturable die cast components.
Tooling has also been central to Hyatt’s capabilities. The company maintains an in-house tool and die operation capable of designing and fabricating die casting tools, trim dies, and other production tooling. Once tools enter production, they can be maintained and modified internally, helping reduce downtime and keep customer programs moving.
As Hyatt expanded, so did its manufacturing capabilities. Today, the company has operated with more than 150,000 square feet of manufacturing space across its Southern California facilities. Its equipment includes high-pressure die casting machines ranging from 250 to 1,650 tons, allowing the company to produce castings ranging from less than an ounce to more than 75 pounds.
Hyatt’s commitment to quality has been particularly important to its work in demanding industries. The company’s quality system has included AS9100 and ISO 9001 certification, along with ITAR and EAR registration for defense-related production. Hyatt has also received recognition from major customers, including Boeing’s Supplier Excellence Award for quality and delivery performance for six consecutive years.
From its founding in 1956 to its growth into a modern, integrated manufacturing operation, Hyatt Die Cast & Engineering has demonstrated the importance of combining experience with technology and engineering innovation.
Hyatt’s history is ultimately a story of manufacturing excellence, long-term customer relationships, skilled employees, and a commitment to producing precision components that meet demanding requirements.

“The Parts We Make Today, We Ship Today”
A380 Die Castings Two Weeks
Dear Die Casting Competitor – A380 Aluminum Die Casting Parts Shipped To Our Competitor In Two Weeks.

Kinetic Die Casting
All die casting companies get into situations where we cannot deliver aluminum die casting parts to our customers, as we promised. Usually, this is caused by equipment downtime or problematic, long running die casting jobs in production. One of my customers complained last year that a die casting company was requiring a 12 to 14 week lead-time.
Many of our die casting jobs are for less than 1,000 die casting parts in A380 aluminum. We are constantly changing out our 12×15 units using A380 Aluminum once or twice a week. Many of our die casting jobs require 500 die casting parts, or less.
Consider sending Kinetic Die Casting Company your 12×15 unit die tool and we will setup and ship to you your required quantity, up to 1,000 parts made in A380 aluminum, in usually less than two weeks. Also, send us your trim die, if available, and we will die trim your parts. Otherwise, we will break the gates or sand and deburr the parts. You will specify the details in your purchase order. We can ship more than 1,000 parts if needed or establish regular deliveries in smaller quantities.
Of course, we will setup and run larger quantities of 5,000 or more, complete die casting tooling, and/or other die casting alloys. These die casting part deliveries will take a little longer. Call us to discuss your needs.
With that shipment you will also receive a CofC (Certificate of Conformance) with metal certifications from our metal supplier and a Certificate of U.S. Manufacture.
Call us or email us anytime to discuss, Save this email for when you get too busy later this year.

ps. It is sad that this needs to be mentioned. We have worked with die casting competitors in the past. Kinetic Die Casting has never “poached” customers. We have never contacted your customers directly if you send us a die casting part job to run.

Pace Industries Die Casting Closure
Bad news for our American manufacturing industry, die casting plant shut down announced by Pace Industries. Founded in 1970 in Arkansas, Pace Industries has grown into one of North America’s largest full-service die-casting manufacturers. The company produces precision metal components used in a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, and consumer products.
In recent years, the company relocated its global headquarters to the Detroit area to be closer to major automotive customers. In 2021, Pace Industries officially moved its headquarters to Novi, Michigan.
On February 24, 2026, Pace Industries, a die casting corporation, submitted a notice under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN Act), a federal law that requires certain employers to provide at least 60 days’ advance notice before conducting mass layoffs or plant closures. The law is intended to give employees and local communities time to prepare for job losses and to seek retraining or new employment opportunities.
Pace Industries is located in Muskegon, Michigan is a major manufacturing employer in Michigan and are preparing to close two facilities, a move that will result in the permanent layoff of up to 145 workers.
Pace Industries, a die-casting manufacturer specializing in aluminum, zinc, and magnesium components, announced plans to shut down its plants located at 2121 Latimer Drive and 2350 Black Creek Road. According to a notice filed with the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, the closures and layoffs are expected to take effect on April 25, 2026.
The company cited ongoing restructuring efforts as the reason for the decision. Officials are reviewing whether the required notice period was properly met in this case. If the company did not provide the full 60-day notification period before implementing the layoffs, it could potentially face claims of noncompliance with the WARN Act.
The layoffs will affect a wide range of manufacturing and management roles. Positions scheduled to be eliminated include general operators, die-cast operators, melt operators, painters, quality technicians, and production managers. The job losses represent a significant reduction in the company’s workforce in Muskegon.
Despite the closures, Pace Industries will continue operating one remaining facility in the city at 2281 Port City Boulevard, according to information listed on the company’s website.
Pace Industries first expanded into the West Michigan market in 2015 when it acquired the Port City Group, a Muskegon-based die-casting manufacturer. At the time, the acquisition was seen as an opportunity to expand production capacity and strengthen the company’s presence in the region.
Following the acquisition, Port City Group CEO John Essex expressed optimism about the merger, saying the partnership would allow the company to access Pace Industries’ broader resources while maintaining strong local operations.
The upcoming closures in Muskegon are part of a broader restructuring strategy within the company. Similar workforce reductions have been announced at other facilities, including a planned shutdown of a plant in Harrison, Michigan, which is expected to eliminate an additional 178 jobs.
