Capabilities
Multi-process casting and finishing—matched to your design, budget, and volume. One certified partner from design to delivery.

Overview
Glocon offers multiple ways to make metal parts—pressure die, investment, sand, and gravity casting, plus forging—so we match the process to your part, volume, and budget. We finish the build with machining and finishing (painting, anodizing, grinding, annealing, shot blasting) for assembly-ready parts. With ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 quality, a New Jersey support team, and optional warehousing and logistics, we take you from design to delivery
without the complexity.
Pressure Die Casting
Fast, repeatable parts with a clean, consistent look—ideal for mid- to high-volume programs where appearance and accuracy matter. We guide design choices so you get reliable quality at the right cost.

Alloys: Aluminum A380, A383, A360; Zinc Zamak 3/5

Capacity: Die-cast machines up to 1,000T

Part size: Up to 35 lb

Well-suited for housings, covers, and brackets


Gravity Die Casting
Pouring metal into a permanent mold under gravity produces strong, uniform parts with a smooth finish—ideal for dependable performance.

Alloys: Aluminum, Magnesium, Zinc — A356, A357, A380, 319, AZ91D, Zamak 3/5

Part size: Up to 90 lb

Smoother finish than sand casting

Stable dimensions for repeat orders
Investment Casting
When your part has fine details or complex shapes, investment casting captures them without heavy machining—great for stainless or carbon steel parts that must fit precisely.

Alloys: Stainless & Carbon Steels 304, 316, 17-4PH, 1045, 1020

Thin walls: Down to ~0.04 in

Part size: Up to 35 lb

Excellent surface quality and feature definition


Sand Casting
A flexible, budget-friendly choice for larger parts or shorter runs. Tooling is straightforward, and design changes are easier to accommodate.

Alloys: Carbon Steel, Aluminum & Cast Iron — A27, A216, A356, 319, A318, A48, A536

Part size: Up to 200 lb

Cost-effective for prototypes and low volumes

Great for bases, frames, and structural components
