To meet the demands of electronics OEMs for complex, lightweight shapes, our thin-wall aluminium die casting process achieves wall thicknesses of less than 1mm, supported by key acquisitions in North America and Europe, and the addition of magnesium to our metal selection.
2010
Our acquisition of Kinetics, now OptiMIM, introduces pioneering innovations in metal injection moulding. We continue to grow with the acquisition of Tek-Cast – while expanding our aluminium and zinc expertise in Europe with key die casting acquisitions Schlieper and Taurus.
