HPM North America Corporation, wholly owned by Guangdong Yizumi Precision Machinery Co. Ltd., has been closely watched by die cast parts producers since it returned to the industry in March of 2011. InJune of 2017, the company successfully shipped the largest die cast machine in North America, a 4,500-ton Die Casting Machine to Walker Die Casting, who is awell-known North American truck and auto parts manufacturer. These recent achievements also indicate customers' trust in HPM products.
Bill Flickinger believes the future is very promising: “We received many inquiries during the NADCA show for new machines.Although 2018 die cast machine shipments appear to be at a lower level than2017, it appears that machine sales and shipping activity for 2019 will be better. HPM will continue to develop its shot control technology, increasing speeds to 400 inches/second and continue to improve response times."
