    Any Die Casting Shops somewhat local to Pittsburgh?

    We have a die cast mold at work, but cant get what we need from out supplier for a few more months.

    We were trying to find a local die-caster where we could send the tooling and have our parts made. Anyone know of any places? Anyone who I could call to talk with?

    I know its a rando question, just figured I would put my feelers out anywhere I could...

    Thanks!

    I had a contact for an aluminum casting facility right near Monroville that looked to do nice work, but cant find their info. If I do, I'll post it up.

    ASTM B85 a380. I believe we need a 700-900 ton press for the tooling. We found a couple small shops, but none with those capabilities. Its a short run too, maybe 2-300 parts. Those two constraints are what are giving us a hard time.

    Not really all that local to you but there's a place just north of Zelienople called Harmony Castings. Don't have any clue how they'd feel about the qty you're speaking of though.

    Sorry, Could not find their info in my records. Quite frustrating, as the conference is supposed to track all of that info for you.
