Automotive Castings

KenWalt Die Casting supplies precision automotive castings for high-performance applications across the transportation industry. Our aluminum and zinc die-cast parts withstand real-world use on the road, rail, or job site. KenWalt’s team works with you to develop castings that meet exact safety, durability, and fit requirements.

Castings for the Automotive Industry

Automotive components must meet strict quality and performance standards, and KenWalt has a long history of producing quality automotive components. For over 50 years, we’ve produced die-cast automotive parts that are strong, lightweight, and ready for high-volume production. Common applications include 

Our aluminum castings are ideal for heat-resistant housings, brackets, connectors, and structural elements that withstand constant use. We also create zinc castings that provide tight tolerances and clean detail, making them an excellent choice for smaller or more intricate components.

Castings for Rail

Rail systems demand dependable braking and safety-critical components. KenWalt produces castings for rail braking systems and other related assemblies that must perform under pressure, withstand vibrations and high pressures, and hold their shape over time.

KenWalt works closely with OEMs to develop components that meet their performance, weight, and durability requirements. We cast, machine, and finish these parts in-house to reduce risk and speed up delivery.

Trucking Applications

KenWalt produces zinc die-cast connectors used between truck cabs and trailers. These parts must function through constant coupling, road vibration, and exposure to weather.

Our casting process ensures that every part meets dimensional specs for a tight fit. Zinc balances strength, corrosion resistance, and precision for these types of connectors. We help trucking suppliers improve part lifespan while reducing the cost and complexity of multi-part assemblies.

Electric Vehicle Components

Electric Vehicles (EV) require innovative designs and cutting-edge materials. We’ve partnered with EV manufacturers on casting projects that no other supplier could produce. We’ve also helped customers go from early prototypes to full production with precision die-cast parts, from battery housings to structural brackets.

EV parts often need to be lightweight, pressure-tight, and complex—all while fitting into tight design envelopes. Our engineering team optimizes designs for manufacturability and performance.

Motorcycle Components

Motorcycles require high finished castings and innovative designs. We’ve produced high quality drivetrain covers, internal engine parts, along with external polished chrome accessories. We’ve helped customers go from early prototypes to full production with expedited precision die-cast parts from design to finished products, helping our customers outpreform their competition.
