FisherCast Global Corporation, founded in 1942, is recognized as a world leader in the technology of small component zinc alloy die casting and customized small component assembly systems. These products are designed, manufactured, sold and serviced from the company's two divisions - FisherCast and FisherTech.
FisherCast manufactures small precision zinc alloy die cast components for an international market of OEM's in the automotive, industrial control, appliance, electronic component, power tool, hardware and computer industries.
For your small component requirements, FisherCast offers your company leading edge technology. Using machines exclusively designed and built by our parent company, FisherCast Global, FisherCast manufactures small zinc die cast components for hundreds of applications.
Encompassing an international market of OEMs, these applications include automotive vehicles, industrial controls, appliances, electronic components, power tools, hardware, computers and much more.
It's our unique toolmaking capabilities that provide you with the assurance of unmatched component quality. Running at high speeds, our hot chamber, direct injection, automatic die casting machines produce a component which does not require secondary trimming or deburring operations.
With this process, FisherCast can meet all your small component requirements. You have the advantages of: Complex shapes with close tolerances
Part-to-part consistency
Flash-free, net shape components
Automatic, high speed operation
One-time tool charge
Zinc and zinc-aluminum alloys
Complete engineering services
FisherTech manufactures customized small component assembly systems using the Injected Metal Assembly (IMATM) process. This is a specialized die casting process that enables components to be permanently joined in precise configurations, with close tolerances and part-to-part consistency. This process enables small components to be permanently joined in precise configurations more economically than many traditional assembly methods. It can be applied to many different types of assembly, joining not only metals, but materials as diverse as ceramics, glass, paper, elastomers, and a wide range of plastics.
The components to be joined are first placed in an assembly tool which holds them in their correct relationship. A molten alloy, usually zinc alloy, is then injected into the space between the components. As the alloy cools, it shrinks, forming a strong, mechanical lock.

Technology:
ACuZinc: Compared to traditional zinc alloys, ACuZinc offers: - Increased strength and hardness
- Greater creep resistance
- Improved bearing and wear characteristics
- More corrosion and damage resistance
- Higher service temperature
ACuZinc is a patented alloy developed by General Motors Corporation. With General Motors' decision to make this product commercially available to non- automotive markets, Fishercast has been licensed as the first hot chamber die caster of ACuZinc small components. Fishercast-Division of Fisher Gauge Limited has cast dozens of different small component designs in ACuZinc for General Motors; and has worked closely with General Motors Research on the practical development of ACuZinc for hot chamber die casting.
Companies who want their small components to benefit from ACuZinc's superior performance characteristics will also gain from Fishercast's technical knowledge and practical experience in casting this extraordinary, newly available zinc alloy.
