What Avalon Precision Casting does

Sigma Engineered Solutions, the operating entity associated with Avalon Precision Casting, is a privately held, vertically integrated precision metal manufacturing company operating since 1982. The business runs a multi-process casting platform spanning High Pressure Die Casting, Sand Casting, Gravity Die Casting, and Investment Casting, complemented by Precision Metal Stamping (80+ presses) and Swiss CNC Machining, with more than 260 metal/alloy combinations available. Manufacturing is conducted across the U.S., India, and Mexico, with third-party sourcing in China, and a U.S. warehouse that supports lead times of as little as five days. The company is positioned as a single-source provider of custom-designed, precision-made components and subassemblies for original equipment manufacturers and engineered-product companies.

The business model is custom, project-based contract manufacturing. Revenue is generated through quote-based transactions for custom parts, with a vertical go-to-market that organizes offerings around 15 end markets — including automotive, aerospace, electrical, power transmission and distribution, medical and dental, oil and gas, appliances, fluid power, food and beverage, marine, power tools, lighting, commercial hardware, electronics and telecom, and energy. Distribution is handled through direct enterprise field sales supported by U.S.-based supply-chain management teams, with a multi-year contract cadence. The company extends the core casting/stamping business with Partner Services covering custom tooling, machining, surface finishing, special-purpose machine design, rapid prototyping, heat treating, and automated assembly, effectively moving the firm from parts supply into subassembly and engineered-solutions work.

Firmographics for Avalon Precision Casting place the company in Cleveland, United States, with 101–250 employees and a founding date of 1983; the detailed operating data corresponds to the related Sigma Engineered Solutions entity headquartered at 120 Sigma Drive, Garner, NC 27529, indicating the consolidated group spans multiple sites. The company is privately held with no public ticker, no recent funding activity beyond a 2008 Keystone Capital round, and no disclosed revenue. Its competitive positioning rests on breadth of process capability, geographic diversification, and the ability to absorb work across diverse regulatory and end-market environments rather than on technology differentiation or AI/ML capability.

Differentiator

Problem solved

Functional benefit

Products and services

• High Pressure Die Casting High-pressure liquid metal is pressed into a precision metal mold cavity and then cooled and solidified under pressure. Ideal for a wide range of applications, including automotive, agricultural, electronics, and medical.
• Sand Casting Castings with complex shapes and inner cavities produced in a sand mold. Ideal for parts with complex shapes and inner cavities.
• Gravity Die Casting Mold is filled with liquid metal using gravity and cooled and solidified in the mold to obtain a casting. Ideal for parts with complex shapes made with steel, aluminum or magnesium alloys.
• Investment Casting Process used to obtain a mold without a parting surface; creates parts with high dimensional and geometric accuracy. Ideal for near-net shaped parts with complex shapes and high precision requirements.
• Precision Metal Stamping Precision metal stamping service using more than 80 presses to convert metal sheets into custom parts. Ideal for electronic connectors and microprocessor chips.
• Swiss CNC Machining Specialized CNC machine capable of producing extremely small, precise parts. Ideal for complex miniature screws, contact pins and micro-fasteners.
• Partner Services Custom tooling, machining, surface finishing, special purpose machine design and development, rapid prototypes, heat treating, and automated assembly services.
• Sourcing Solutions Sourcing partner for top-quality forgings, castings, stampings, plastic injection molding, machining, and more.
