At Marcus Hi-Tech Engineering, die casting is at the core of our manufacturing expertise. With over 45 years of experience in zinc and aluminium die casting, we deliver precision-engineered components to global automotive, aerospace, electrical, and industrial sectors.

We combine state-of-the-art machines, advanced tool design and simulation, and material expertise to create high-quality die castings and assemblies that meet the toughest performance and reliability standards.

Our Die Casting Capabilities

Die casting machines — 40T to 400T in-house, up to 4200T through the partner network
Hot chamber die casting — up to 120T, ideal for zinc and lead components
Cold chamber die casting — 60T to 4200T, for aluminium and magnesium
Low pressure die casting (LPDC) — complex aluminium parts with superior integrity
Gravity die casting (GDC) — cost-efficient process for medium-volume runs

Materials Expertise

We manufacture with a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals:

Aluminium alloys: ADC10, ADC12, A380, A384, ALSI10MNMG, LM2, LM6, LM24, LM25
Zinc alloys: Zamak 2, 3, 5, 7
Magnesium alloys (specialty)
Lead alloys for niche industrial requirements
