Your Vision Deserves Precision Components

Founded in 1987, AFT expanded into its innovative Thixomolding®, a magnesium alloy molding process in 1997. With the commitment of our parent company, Precision Castparts Corporation (PCC) a multi-billion dollar international company specializing in aerospace components, AFT has maintained the competitive advantage that benefits our many clients.


Our two large metal injection manufacturing centers in Longmont, Colorado and Retsag, Hungary, are identical in equipment, allowing dual sourcing when required.


We run more than 46 metal injection molding machines, 14 sintering furnaces and 4 de-binding units in more than 160,000 square feet of manufacturing space. No competitor approaches this level of capacity. We use JSW and Battenfeld Injection Molding Machines.
