Core offering

RCM Industries manufactures custom high-pressure aluminum die casting parts across four U.S. facilities, producing precision components ranging from under 0.10 lbs to over 30 lbs in seven aluminum alloys. The company supports customers from design and prototyping through CNC machining, secondary finishing (painting, anodizing, plating), assembly, and quality assurance under IATF 16949:2016 certified processes. RCM serves automotive, commercial vehicle, appliance, industrial, military, and recreational vehicle manufacturers with engineering-led APQP support and Magmasoft simulation-driven tooling.

Product overview

RCM Industries operates as a custom aluminum die casting company with a platform-plus-divisions architecture. The company encompasses four operating divisions (Aallied Die Casting of Illinois, Inland Die Casting Company, Imperial Die Casting Company, and Aallied Die Casting of North Carolina) that share core aluminum die casting services, CNC machining, and secondary finishing processes as the foundational platform. The divisions leverage shared corporate capabilities including MAGMASOFTT simulation software, Shotscope NX production monitoring, rapid prototyping services, and APQP engineering methodology. The portfolio ranges from small parts under 0.10 lbs using multi-cavity tooling to large parts up to 30+ lbs using 2000-ton machines, serving automotive, commercial vehicle, recreational vehicle, industrial, lawn & garden, and power equipment industries.
