ROUTE 120 McHENRY, ILL. 385-9670 •is Casting Awareness Woodstock Die Casting - 65 Years (This is the first in a series of two articles describing Woodstock Die Casting, an EL TRA Company, its origin, the employees, and community involvement). Woodstock Die Casting as known today set its roots 65 years ago in a small Chicago garage. Through the start-up efforts of a Swedish immigrant and a continuing record of achievement by past and present employees, the organization expanded from a modest "Alley Shop" into a multi-capability custom die casting operation. During those 65 years the plant operated under various corporate titles. In 1912, it was Alemite Metals, then Alemite Die Casting. In 1935 the operation joined with the Electric Autolite Company, and took the name Autolite Die Casting. When Electric Autolite merged with Mergenthaler-Linotype in 1963 to form ELTRA Corporation, this division became Woodstock Die Casting. The same years have seen the plant evolve phoenix-like from the bricks of an antiquated structure built in 1893 by the Tappan Steam Pump Company, through expansion by the Oliver Typewriter Company and further major improvements by ELTRA into the modern automated manufacturing complex of today. Capabilities to furnish functional and decorative parts from zinc and aluminum completely machined, painted, plated and assembled, are coupled with a reputation for high qua lity, engineering service, and on-time performance. The employees are proud of their record of achievement and market-place reputation. Quality and performance have been the watch words for years. To gain an awareness of their accomplishments, an Open House is scheduled for Sunday, June 5, from noon until 4:00 P.M.Please mark your calendars,and bring your family to an informative visit of a die casting operation.
