Why Leech Industries? The Benefits of Our Zinc Die Casting Services
Our highly skilled teams and top-of-the-line processes allow us to tackle even the most challenging processes, such as transforming a legacy mold for an agricultural OEM, and produce tangible results.
Streamlined Workflow
Partnering with Leech Industries for zinc die cast components simplifies customers’ supply chains. Customers simply need to send a purchase order and our team will handle the rest. Our integrated approach reduces the complexity of managing multiple suppliers and ensures consistent quality throughout the process.
Unparalleled Efficiency
Here at Leech Industries, we take our customers’ timelines and schedules seriously. That’s why we’ve designed our in-house die casting processes for efficiency so that we can meet fast turnaround times. Whether we’re getting started on a brand new project or troubleshooting an existing one, we’re equipped with the tools and expert teams necessary to move swiftly.
Superior Quality Control
With all operations conducted in-house or through our trusted local vendors, top-notch quality is inevitable when sourcing zinc die cast components from Leech. Our team inspects and assembles all products under one roof, preventing issues like mismatched tolerances so customers receive consistent, high-quality products every time.
Cost-Effective Results
Outsourcing zinc die casting and other related processes to multiple vendors can drive up costs and complicate logistics. By consolidating everything under one roof, Leech Industries lowers customers’ overall costs without compromising quality.
In addition to reducing component costs, our ability to provide fully assembled products minimizes the need for additional labor at our customers’ facilities. This reduced labor cost makes a significant difference in their final pricing.
Flexibility and Expertise in Tooling
Whether it’s a brand-new component or an improvement of an existing product, Leech’s experienced designers can create the perfect tools and dies to suit the project. In addition, we offer detailed engineering support and meticulous documentation for every component. While a typical overseas tool and die shop may track only a few essential items, Leech’s internal systems can account for up to 85 components. Not only does this ensure the reliability and longevity of these tools, but it also offers flexibility to make any necessary changes without starting from scratch with remarkable traceability.
“Made in the USA”
Utilizing our domestic operations ensures the following:
- Reliable communication and customer service: There’s no need to work around time zones. Our customers receive regular updates and can communicate directly with our expert team.
- Shorter lead times: By sourcing from a local partner, customers can avoid the delays and uncertainties of overseas shipping.
- Greater flexibility: Thanks to our responsiveness and detailed documentation practices, changes to designs or tooling are easily and immediately accommodated.
