Yoder designed and built the first die cast machine used by Yoder Industries and produced inflator bodies for navy life preservers (a product Yoder still manufacturers today).Yoder Industries, Inc., was first located in downtown Dayton, Ohio.

Top Die Casting Companies in California 2025

Die Casting Foundry – A Description of the Die Casting Parts Production Process – Die casting is a metal parts manufacturing process in which molten metal is injected, under considerable pressure, into a hardened steel die or also called die casting mold. Dies are often water-cooled. The die is then opened, and the die casting metal parts are ejected (many times thousands of die casting parts each day, sometimes only a few hundred die casting parts). Once the die casting tooling is paid for, die casting parts are a very inexpensive aluminum part manufacturing process. (800) 524-8083 – sales@kineticdc.com

Phone and Internet Outage January 2025

Kinetic Die Casting Company is experiencing an outage of our office Phones and Internet. We have been down for two days. The cause is probably the Southern California Fires and the high winds in our area. Our service provider, Spectrum, does not have an answer to when our service will be restored. Thank you for your patience. We will follow up on all emails and calls when our service is restored.
