Revstone Adds Another Diecaster to Stable of Casting Plants Revstone Industries LLC, Lexing-
ton, Ky., announced it has purchased a magnesium diecasting facility in Chihuahua, Mexico, from Compass Automotive Group LLC, Franklin, Ind. The magnesium casting facility will
operate under Revstone’s Cast Metals Group as Revstone Chihuahua LLC. The new addition will join the manu- facturing conglomerate’s growing portfolio of metalcasters, which in- cludes ferrous green sand caster Dex- ter Foundry, Fairfield, Iowa, bought in late 2010. In 2008, the company bought diecasters Contech LLC, Por- tage, Mich., and Burlington Technolo-
Harvey Industries Die-Casting LLC,
gies, Burlington, Ontario, Canada, as well as Grede’s Vassar, Mich., plant. Revstone Chihuahua’s facility hous-
es five diecasting presses ranging from 600 tons to 1,200 tons, a hydraulic trim press, an overhead bridge crane, a spectrometer and other diecasting equipment. The company said it plans to install three 1,200-ton machines “in the near future.” Revstone also has added a fabrica-
tion and stamping facility to its campus in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. The com- pany said in a press release it expects both the new operations to increase its Mexico presence and complement
its existing machining and assembly capabilities in San Luis Potosi. “With the addition of these two plants,
we are continuing to live up to our com- mitment to our customers to be a reliable supplier of a wide range of engineered solutions on a global level,” said Robert Carney, president of Revstone Mexico. Revstone, which primarily produces
parts for the transportation markets, proj- ects more than $1 billion in revenues in 2011. The company operates manufactur- ing facilities in more than 60 locations in North and Central America and indicated it plans to expand further in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.
