Carlton Die Castings, a Scottish die casting and CNC machining specialist, provides quality and service to ensure that castings arrive on time every time with no rejects

Carlton Die Castings vision is to provide an unrivalled service in die casting and CNC machining, says Sales Manager Greg Wilson. ‘While some companies insist on the false economy of sourcing their castings in China and low cost European companies, Carlton Die Castings provides the quality and service to ensure that castings arrive on time every time with 0 percent rejects.

What price can be put on that?’ Carlton’s is a family-owned business based in Paisley with excellent communication links for the UK and Europe being situated immediately adjacent to Glasgow Airport, major motorways and shipping terminals.

Castings are produced to ISO 9001:2000 standards by both gravity and high pressure processes in aluminium and zinc, while an extensive CNC machining capacity enables the supply of castings fully machined and ready for assembly.

A policy of continual modernisation has seen recent investments in a 725 ton Buhler die casting machine and an 11 pallet, ultra high speed Matsuura machining centre.

These are added to the already extensive range of gravity and high pressure services and CNC machining.

The company offers a design service that can assist with product design at the initial stage.

Carlton can make prototypes machined from solid or from sand or silicon moulds from the designed alloy so that a component can be assembled and tested to represent the final application.

Markets cover all aspects of manufacturing from floodlights and electrical switch gear to forklift trucks, oil exploration and rail track safety, and the company specialises in castings for hazardous conditions manufactured to ‘Zone 1′ requirements.
