Construction of the 150,000 square foot plant was started in 1942 and operations commenced the following year.

The mould can be used for only a single casting but is relaâ€" tively inexpensive. This method is used where only a small numâ€" ber of pieces are to be produced and also for production of large size castings. In permanent mould castings, molten aluminum is poured into metal moulds. After the metal has solidified the mould is opened up and the casting removed. Beâ€" cause of the cost of met&l moulds, this process is used for larger quantity runs. To make a die casting, molten metal is forced under a pressure into a steel die. Pressures of several thousand pounds per square inch are used to obtain special properties in the casting. This process is used for the largâ€" est quantity runs,. The first two of these processes have been in use at Etobicoke Works since the plant was opened in 1943. The die casting method was moved from the Sterling Road plant in 1956.

Visitors from these countries freâ€" quently tour the plant to observe and discuss the latest in casting techniques.
