PDC is an innovative supplier of brass, aluminium and zinc castings to the South African and international markets. We are a specialist die caster, who has been in business since 1952.
We have built our company customer by customer. Our approach is to start from our customer's need exploring various design options until we identify the best process solution. This approach is valued by our customers who are then confident that the process we design for them will best meet their requirements.
Our team of specialist engineers translates the concept into the working steel dies that are used to repeatedly make quality components. Our sophisticated tool room is an integral part of the process and critical to the successful manufacture of high quality products. All tools and dies are made and serviced in our own toolroom.
We have a fully integrated process line from sourcing raw materials, to tool making and manufacturing in house which enables us to deliver a quality product, on time.
We have extensive experience in the manufacture of a range of components with weights from just a few grams to 800 g with current production runs from 1 000 to millions of components per annum. The manufacturing process that a component follows varies according to its complexity and sub-assemblies are made according to the customer's brief. We are always open to increasing our capabilities to meet a customer's specific needs.
