I am getting calls from the customers of my competitors asking that I quote a part price. I always refuse to quote because my competitor is facing the same material cost increases I am facing. Some die casting materials, like za27, are not available today. I will have to wait a few weeks for material. I&#8217;ve never seen this before.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, prior to 2020, the die casting metal alloy prices were like gentle waves on the ocean, they go up, they come down. I have always ridden the waves in the past by not increasing or changing the part prices for material increases. But I can&#8217;t ride the increased material costs anymore. <\/p>\n<p>Today, the cost of aluminum alloy for die casting increased another $0.05 a pound. Zinc alloys have risen similarly. That is an increase that I have never seen in my 30 years in business. My customers will also unfortunately have to pay a higher part price Or I cannot supply them the parts. <\/p>\n<p>If you have a good supplier, pay the higher part cost. They cannot avoid the cost increases. Die Casting Aluminum Alloy Prices in March 2022 are Crazy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kineticdiecasting.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Kinetic Die Casting Company<\/a><br \/>\n6918 Beck Avenue North Hollywood, California<br \/>\n91605 United States of America<br \/>\n818-982-9200<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:sales@kineticdc.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">sales@kineticdc.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Permalink: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kineticdiecasting.com\/kdc\/aluminum-prices-march-2022\">https:\/\/www.kineticdiecasting.com\/kdc\/aluminum-prices-march-2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Original Post: <a href='https:\/\/www.kineticdiecasting.com\/kdc\/aluminum-prices-march-2022\/' target='_blank' rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.kineticdiecasting.com\/kdc\/aluminum-prices-march-2022\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kineticdiecasting.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kinetic Die Casting Company<\/a> 6918 Beck Avenue North Hollywood California 818-982-9200<\/p>\n<p>No longer interested email from Kinetic Die Casting Blog?.
