Teknicast is one of Malaysia’s leading manufacturers of aluminium die-casting products. The company's products are mainly for use in the international oil and gas industry. One of its precision parts helped to regulate the flow of gas to the Olympic flame atop the Bird’s Nest stadium at the Beijing Olympics. Precision machining enhances the value of Teknicast’s die-cast products and gives them a competitive edge over lower-grade products manufactured elsewhere in Asia. Over the past 25 years, Teknicast has built a reputation for quality among its long term customers in the US and Europe.
