P&A International drives low cost and high performance for die casting and aluminium extrusions

P&A International, a specialist in custom diecasting and aluminum extrusions, is raising the bar in the diecasting and extrusion process thanks to its focus on collaboration.

Diecasting is one of the fastest and most cost-effective methods for producing a wide range of components. However, to achieve maximum benefits from this process, P&A International says it is critical that die casters and designers collaborate at an early stage of product design and development.

“At P&A International, we put high value on consulting with our clients. This is only way we can offer the highest quality custom extrusions and die casting China can provide, keeping the cost low and delivering high quality part,” said the P&A International spokesperson.

Diecasting is a process of casting aluminium, zinc and copper alloy under pressure, which produces precision parts in high volume with low cost. There are two die casting processes: hot chamber die casting and cold chamber die casting. P&A International utilises the fastest methods of production in China to produce quality products at significantly lower cost than other regions.

But what really sets P&A International apart is how it encourages its clients to consult with the die caster during the design phase, thereby helping resolve issues affecting tooling and production, while identifying the various trade-offs that could affect overall costs.

Working from drawings or samples provided, P&A International’s expert diecasting and aluminium extrusion designers and toolmakers deliver aluminium extrusions from China with high tolerance and the lowest possible cost.

“Die casting is an economical process providing a wider range and shapes of components than any other manufacturing technique. By working closely with our clients to understand their precise needs, we can guarantee die cast parts will have a long service life and can be manufactured to complement or enhance the visual appeal of the final product they are used in.”

The team works with its clients to select the suitable extrusion or diecasting process and design the tooling to suit each unique application. For example, the alloy selection will be as per specification or advised based on the client’s requirements.
