Description

Miniature Casting Corporation (MCC), established in 1962, is a premier manufacturer specializing in precision zinc die cast components. Headquartered in Cranston, Rhode Island, MCC serves a diverse range of industries including medical, electronics, automotive, microwave, and general hardware. The company’s foundation was laid through a partnership between a Rhode Island jewelry manufacturer and a Canadian die cast manufacturer, which introduced proprietary 4-slide die casting equipment. This technology initially catered to the zipper industry, producing extremely small and precise die castings, and later evolved to support industrial manufacturing, notably supplying components for Polaroid's Land Camera. Under the leadership of Bob Piacitelli since 1980, MCC has undergone significant technological advancements, transitioning from mechanical cams to electronic switches and automation, and expanding its equipment portfolio to include hydraulic 2-slide and 4-slide machines for larger and high-volume production. The company relocated to a custom-designed, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in 1989 within the Howard Industrial Park in Cranston, Rhode Island, where it operates today. MCC specializes in producing tight-tolerance, complex zinc die cast components ranging from as light as 1 gram to as heavy as 1 pound. The company offers comprehensive services including design assistance, prototyping, and value-added sub-assemblies, ensuring seamless project execution from inception to final product delivery. Secondary processing capabilities such as tapping, reaming, and machining are performed in-house, while polishing, plating, and surface finishing are managed through a trusted network of subcontractors in New England. Committed to quality, MCC holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and employs rigorous quality management tools such as FMEA, PPAP, SPC, and continuous improvement practices. Environmental stewardship is a core value, exemplified by a nationally recognized wastewater recycling program initiated in 1991 that eliminated wastewater discharge. Since August 2014, Stephan Toljan has served as President, bringing extensive global marketing and sales experience to drive market penetration in the US and expand international business opportunities. The leadership team, including Senior Vice President Angela Piacitelli Toljan and General Manager Keith Marden, focuses on operational excellence, customer service, and innovation to maintain MCC’s reputation as a trusted and forward-thinking zinc die casting manufacturer.
