Boeing Acquires Dreamliner Parts Plant
The Wall Street Journal (7/8, B3, Sanders) reports, “Boeing Co. agreed to acquire manufacturing operations from one of its key suppliers on the delayed 787 Dreamliner aircraft at a cost of $1 billion.” The acquisition of the “plant in North Charleston, S.C., from Vought Aircraft Industries would mark the second time Boeing has taken over a key part of the Dreamliner’s supply chain.” Under the deal, “Boeing is paying $580 million in cash and will forgive $422 million in cash advances paid to privately held Vought for work on the 787.” The AP (7/8, Lovering) says, “Vought, owned by private equity firm The Carlyle Group, claims financial problems, not production glitches, prompted the sale, which is expected to close in the third quarter.”
Noting that “the Boeing Company celebrated its new 787 Dreamliner as not only a state-of-the-art plane, but as a model of how to streamline its production process by relying on outsourcing,” the New York Times (7/8, B4, Drew) adds “on Tuesday, the company took a step away from that vision.” The plane maker “has already had to contend with other supply and production problems on its delayed 787 Dreamliner, a model considered crucial to the company’s future. It recently postponed its first test flight and has faced bottlenecks at Vought and other suppliers.” Bloomberg News (7/8, Ray) adds, “The 787’s entry into service has been set back five times, in part because multiple suppliers didn’t do all the work they had agreed to, leaving more for Boeing workers to complete.”
It appears that Henry Ford may have been right — outsourcing may not be the best approach. Sometimes it’s better to own the whole design and production system.

KINETIC DIE CASTING COMPANY
To put it in a nutshell, die casting is the most basic technique of putting the raw aluminum to good use by giving required shapes to it. But though it is basic in nature, aluminum die casting is not a cake walk by any standards. Aluminum die casting requires a complex process which involves complex machinery and even more complex division of labor. A company doing an excellent job in keeping all these attributes intact is the Kinetic Die Casting Company.
BASIC INFO
Now the first question that pops in the head is what does the company do? Kinetic Die Casting Company melts the aluminum and then puts this molten metal in to solid shapes thorough molds and then supplies them to industries such as Hardware, lighting, Military, Aircraft, locomotives, automobiles and the like. This company falls under the manufacturer category. If we go by the technical terms, the primary and secondary (#1) Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) for the company is Aluminum Die Castings. The secondary (#2) SIC is nonferrous die castings-Ex alum.
The company is a US based one and as per the 2006 survey, the reigns were held by the then president. The success of the company is very evident from the figure, which the Sales volume range had to show in 2006. The Credit Alpha score is A+ corresponding to a credit numeric score of 96, almost as if to add cherry on top of the huge cake of success.
The Kinetic Die Casting Company for aluminum die casting holds a great rapport in the market and is dealing with large scale industries for decades now.
COAST DIE CASTING COMPANY
July 3rd, 2009 Richard White agreed to sell Coast Die Casting Company to Kinetic Die Casting Company. The economy has hurt the operations of Coast Die Casting severely to the point that Coast was unable to fill their open purchase orders. The owner of Coast Die Casting Company felt it was a good time to retire so he closed down his die casting operations. The customers of Coast Die Cast company are getting their parts again from a good source.

Aluminum industry takes a 40 percent first-quarter hit
Aluminum industry takes a first-quarter hit. A weak automobile market has put a dent in figures for Switzerland’s aluminium manufacturers who say business in early 2009 slipped 40 per cent.
The Swiss Aluminum Association announced on Monday that factories processed 3,700 tons of light metal in the first quarter compared to 6,100 tons for the same period last year.
The die-casting sector, which is closely tied to the struggling automobile industry, was hit particularly hard, the association said.
The figures show that the industry has slipped further into a recession that began in mid-2008. Global orders for rolling mills and presses slipped 5.8 per cent to 166,400 tons compared to a record year in 2007.
Most of Switzerland’s aluminum is exported, largely to the European Union. But domestic use in 2008 also appears to have slipped about four per cent to 183,800 tons compared to the previous year.
As a result, producers have had to layoff workers and cut back on hours. Industry experts say they do not expect business to turnaround until 2010 at the earliest.

Lightweight Aluminum Lighting Fixtures
Aluminum Lighting Fixtures – Lightweight Lighting. A lot of hardware stores sell an assortment of electrical devices for the market to choose from. However, regardless of the massive display of products, it is not always assured that all devices are made of quality and hard-wearing material. Aluminum lighting fixtures are just a few of the many electrical devices that guarantee lightweight and long-lasting features. These devices are often used to strengthen construction of lighting fixtures both inside and outside several establishments. Commonly, a comprehensive setup may require a lot of parts and samples from electrical ballast to a light reflector. The light source is most important when setting up a lighting fixture as it needs to be made with effective material. Aluminum lighting fixtures are the perfect devices when it comes to this situation allowing easier construction of different lighting techniques. These can be used in a variety of areas and spaces from automotive to aerospace form of lighting
With the fragile construction of aluminum lighting fixtures, these can also come in versatile shapes and sizes, from fixtures used for down lighting to those that are mounted on uneven surfaces. Through the heavy process of aluminum die casting, finer lighting fixtures are being made available for purchase in the international market. These fixtures are injected with alloy metal of molten aluminum so as to form a more durable steel die. This course allows a better production when it comes to architectural devices that are being used in different parts of houses and buildings. The aluminum die casting procedure ensures better output of different lighting systems.
Kinetic Die Casting utilizes die casting to manufacture parts like aluminum car parts, airplane parts, lighting parts and much, much more. If you would like to request a quote, please visit our website:Die Casting quote
