From materials to mass finished products, Coler Supply Solutions can create higher value for your project
We run seven zinc die casting machines around the clock and ship to customers in more than 40 countries. Part weights run from 0.05kg up to 16kg.
Zinc flows into finer detail than aluminium and holds a tighter tolerance, so it suits connectors, locks, gears and small mechanisms. Zinc dies also outlast aluminium dies by a wide margin, which spreads the tool cost across more parts and brings the piece price down on a repeat order.
Castings leave us plated or painted where the application needs it, through our electroplating line. Tell us the part weight and the annual quantity and we will quote the tool and the piece price together.

Advantages of Zinc Die Casting
What is Zinc Die Casting
Zinc die casting is a metal casting process that is characterized by forcing molten zinc under high pressure into a mould cavity. The mould cavity is created using two hardened tool steel dies which have been machined into shape and work similarly to an injection mould during the process. Most die castings are made from non-ferrous metals, specifically zinc, copper, aluminium, magnesium, lead, pewter, and tin-based alloys.
The main advantage of zinc die casting is the ability to create intricate shapes with a high level of accuracy and repeatability. This process allows for the production of complex parts with fine details and textured surfaces that would be difficult to achieve with other manufacturing methods. Zinc's low melting point compared to other metals also contributes to its suitability for die casting, as it prolongs the life of the casting tools and allows for faster production cycles.
Zinc holds finer detail than aluminium, which is why it suits precision parts such as connectors, locks and small mechanisms. See the finished range on our die cast parts page.
Additionally, zinc die casting is known for producing parts with exceptional durability and stability. Zinc alloys are strong, with high impact resistance and rigidity, making them ideal for creating sturdy components. The process also results in parts that have excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, which is beneficial for various applications in electrical and electronic industries.
Moreover, the zinc die casting process is highly efficient and economical, particularly suitable for large-scale production. It offers a high-speed production process with minimal waste, as excess material can often be recycled and reused. This efficiency, combined with the durability of the parts produced, makes zinc die casting a popular choice across various sectors, including automotive, electronics, and hardware manufacturing.
