Gibbs Die Casting

The management and ownership of Gibbs Die Casting has remained unchanged for nearly thirty-five years, allowing Gibbs to operate as a stable yet progressive company. Founded in 1966, Gibbs has grown into one of the largest castings companies in the United States with manufacturing facilities on three continents.

Gibbs operates 11 factories in Kentucky, Texas, Brazil, and Korea for aluminum and magnesium casting, machining, assembly and die building, with over 1,200,000 square feet of total floor space. In late 2000 Gibbs expects to expand into Europe with the goal of offering Consistent Quality on Four Continents.

Gibbs can cast using pressures from 2,000 PSI to 18,000 PSI in vertical and horizontal presses either with or without vacuum. Gibbs presses range from 280 ton to 1600 ton offering an alternative to forging, permanent mold and conventional die casting. Our manufacturing process has been accepted by the world casting market as equal or superior to conventional die casting.

Gibbs casts a wide range of alloys, including all die cast alloys, many permanent mold alloys, and many magnesium alloys. We supply squeeze castings and semi-solid castings from two unique and economical proprietary processes.

Our design center has been expanded to include mold flow analysis, finite element modeling and fused deposition modeling (FDM) to support US and international customers. Our tool and die divisions, Audubon Tool and Korea Tool, build dies with state-of-the-art equipment. Our machining and assembly division, Comac, builds its own synchronized production lines and successfully satisfies the world's toughest customers with machined and assembled components.

Gibbs is registered to QS9000 and is a leader in innovative quality control systems. Our quality manufacturing system includes a process failure detection system at every casting press. Rigorous 100% inspection is as much a production operation as any other manufacturing step, and is woven into the sequential standardized work to assure manufacturing quality in finishing and machining.
