This part was made in a die casting machine using the Ryobi Shut Valve, a vacuum-assisted process patented by Ryobi that allows for higher productivity, higher dimensional accuracy, reduced porosity, and better surface finish. Ryobi Die Casting (USA), Inc. is located in Shelbyville, Indiana. The facilities include two die-casting plants and a machine facility encompassing 560,000 sq. feet of manufacturing space. The company was established in 1985 as a subsidiary of Ryobi Limited (Japan), which has die-casting facilities in Japan, China, Northern Ireland, and the United States. Ryobi was the first Japanese company in the state of Indiana. Ryobi makes products that are used in many industries. Products include transmission cases, housings, engine parts, and, most recently, structural parts. They have been used in Ford, GM, and Toyota vehicles. Today, Ryobi has over 800 employees and ships over 150 million pounds of cast metal to its customers. In 1986, Ryobi and Shelby County officials began the search for a sister city in Japan. This search is what ultimately led to the sister city relationship with first Kambara, and now Shizuoka, Japan.Category
