Chicago White Metal is extremely proactive in researching advanced technology and innovation and implementing them into the die casting process. The company makes these efforts to improve and enhance quality, efficiency, measurability, and overall cost savings for existing and future projects.
CWM leadership encourages an environment that cultivates innovative ideas regarding process improvement. This allows team members to actively examine and suggest alternatives to modify or drastically change current techniques. The team is excited to implement these innovations into the workflow in traditional and non-traditional ways.
New Idra Die Casting Machine (2019)
A new Idra Die Casting machine was purchased last year. The Chicago White Metal team’s extensive planning was thoughtfully executed, with full implementation planned for the beginning of Q4 in 2020. This new die casting machine has a 900-ton capacity, allowing Chicago White Metal to accommodate substantially larger applications. Although the machine is installed in the magnesium department, it will initially be used to cast aluminum parts.
