Precision is defined as a quality indicative of
exactness. It is exactly this provision of precision
which has prompted the success of a
Colorado-company that has earned enviable
recognition as a leading producer of
highly-engineered aluminum and magnesium
castings, from prototype to low-volume
production, and machined components crucial to
a wide range of industries. PreciseCast Prototypes
& Engineering, Inc, based in Commerce City,
Colorado, was established nine years ago by three
industry veterans who were determined to create
an enterprise that would not only support
American industry by deploying solutions for
achieving increased efficiency, cost savings and
product integrity, but to do so in such a way as to
help companies demonstrate the quality that
succinctly separates American-made products
from those manufactured anywhere else in the
world. Atypical of usual operations within a
foundry or machine shop, PreciseCast is
empowered by a team of engineers and
state-of-the-art technology systems that enable
them to prototype the most complicated of
components as well as conduct the most rigorous
quality assurance testing all prior to large volume
production. PreciseCast services have proven to
spare customers from unnecessary burdens of
time, cost and nuisance relating to the design
cycle of a component. PreciseCast clients include
industry forces in automotive, agriculture,
aerospace, defense, and consumer electronics.
From prototyping housings and enclosures for
optics in target-locating devices required by the
defense industry to the covers and housings for
computers and server controls systems, or the
parts crucial to the powertrain systems in cars
manufactured by the biggest names in
automotive, PreciseCast’s proficiency helps
position the company as more than just a supplier
of parts, but as a trusted advisor, project manager
and consultant. PreciseCast provides solutions
that benefit manufacturers and large volume
suppliers like Stahl Specialty Corp. achieve
greater efficiency and accuracy by expediting
precision in product delivery from concept to
completion.

When you know what those standards are, it
is simple to run a business,” affirms Spalding.
As an ISO-14001/ISO-9002/TS-
16949-certified company, Stahl has devised
unique systems to complement their capa-
bility to efficiently deliver large, complex,
quality machined castings; parts that range
from .5 pounds to more than 280 pounds
in volumes of several hundred to more than
400,000 annually. Its current position in in-
dustry and market penetration is a testament
to the precision and service standards that
have been honed over 70 years, but to put
that in proper context requires examination
of just how far the company has come since
its inception.
