The year was 1930 and the stock market crash had taken its toll on the nation’s economy. A dozen eggs cost $.15. At the butcher shop a prime rib roast was $.23 a pound. A brand new 6 cylinder Chrysler was $885.00 and a new set of 4 Goodyear tires for your old clunker cost $18.60, plus tax.

     
 

1930 was also the year that Los Angeles Die Casting opened its doors at 340 Crocker Street in downtown Los Angeles. We were a job shop that made custom aluminum and zinc die castings for the local manufacturing trade. We quickly picked up several local and out of state customers in the automotive, electrical, plumbing, lighting, and food and beverage industries. As time went on we were lucky enough to add customers in the defense, aviation, home appliance, hardware, entertainment, and recreation vehicle supplies business. We stayed in downtown Los Angeles until 2002 when we moved to our new facility in the City of Commerce.

 
 
 

We now run all of the common aluminum die casting alloys and we are still supplying many of the same industries that we have been serving for 75 years. Some of our newer customers have brought us work for people like Harley Davidson, Briggs and Stratton, Kohler, Boeing, G.M. and Chrysler.

And by the way, nowadays you can spend $885.00 on a new set of tires for your old Chrysler.
