Twice in the last two weeks, Kinetic Die Casting Company was contacted to see if a lost die casting tool was in our inventory. Two die casting companies closed and the customer did not get their die casting tooling before the die casting company disappeared.

• Cox Die Casting Company, Gardena, California
• and
• American Aluminum Casting Co. Irvington, New Jersey

In each case, the customer needed 100 to 150 die casting parts but did not have the die cast tool. In both cases, we had to price a new 12×15 Unit Die Casting Tool for $17,000 and the die casting parts for around $10 each. That would cost the customer about $123 each for 150 die casting parts. That is a crazy price for a lost die casting tool.
