Manufacturing · Casting & Foundry
We sit between sand and pressure die casting, and buyers keep treating us like one or the other.
A buyer deciding between sand, gravity and pressure casting is weighing tooling cost, run length and part quality. Gravity die casting sits in the middle, and that is the difficulty: the buyer is unsure whether to approach a gravity shop at all.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
In one paragraph
Gravity die casting, also called permanent mould casting, pours molten metal into a reusable metal die under its own weight, giving denser castings than sand and cheaper tooling than a pressure die. GullySales helps gravity die shops explain where they fit, so buyers of cookware, fittings, pistons and similar parts know to ask.
The sales job is to name the parts that suit it, so an engineer reading the page recognises their own.

Who it is for
This is written for you if gravity die casting is what you make or sell.
- Gravity die shops casting aluminium and, in some cases, brass and copper alloys
- Makers of cookware, pump parts, brass fittings and electrical fittings
- Shops with tilt-pour setups and in-house die making or die repair
- Foundries adding gravity dies to a sand business
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- A buyer who needs very thin walls at high volumes. That is pressure die casting territory.
- A shop that outsources all die making and has no plan for die repair
How buyers choose
What decides the sale of gravity die casting.
Die cost against run length
The buyer weighs a gravity die against a sand pattern and a pressure die. A clear explanation of where the break falls for their part keeps the enquiry alive.
Density and pressure tightness
Parts that hold water, oil or gas need soundness. Buyers ask for pressure-test practice and what is done to reduce porosity.
Alloy and heat treatment
Aluminium alloy grade and any T-condition heat treatment appear on the drawing. Buyers look for a shop that has poured the same.
Die life and repair
The die wears, and a repair arrangement is part of the deal. The buyer asks who keeps the die and who fixes it.
Where orders are lost
What usually goes wrong when you sell gravity die casting.
In the words owners use on the first call.
“Buyers ask for a quotation as a sand casting and as a pressure die”
They are comparing three processes and the gravity die shop is the third call. By then the decision has often half-formed.
“Our cookware customers buy on price alone”
Several brands, a few buyers, one rate comparison. Nothing else about the shop reaches them.
“Our die repair work is invisible”
The shop can repair and modify dies for others, but no one outside knows. It is an unused second business.
The scope
The work we would propose for gravity die casting.
Measured on qualified enquiries, quotation requests, follow-up on each quotation, trial orders won and repeat orders. Anything here that needs a platform, directory or tool we have not used with you is confirmed with you before it goes in the scope.
- A comparison page: gravity, sand and pressure dieExplains in plain words which part types and run lengths suit gravity casting, written for a buyer weighing the three.
- A page for pressure-tight and heat-treated partsAlloy, heat treatment, testing and the parts already supplied.
- Prospecting among cookware, fittings and pump makersA named list of firms that buy cast aluminium and brass parts, with the part and the buyer's role.
- A die-repair service listingA listing for die repair and modification so other foundries and tool rooms can find it.
- Quotation follow-up for tooling decisionsA call plan that asks the buyer which process they are leaning towards and why.

How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Your brief
You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.
After the brief
A conversation and a written scope
We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.
What we need from you
What to have ready before we talk.
None of it has to be tidy. We read what you have.
- Alloys poured and any heat treatment done in-house
- Dies held and for which customers
- Pressure-test or leak-test equipment
- Die repair or modification work done for others
- Recent quotations that were lost and why
Export and new regions
Selling gravity die casting beyond your home market.
Where you sell decides standards, documents, payment terms and freight. We work from Bengaluru and have no overseas office, so for a new region we start from your own enquiries, your existing buyers and the directories you already use.
Importers of cookware and fittings
Overseas buyers of cast cookware and brass fittings work through importers and private-label brands. Your current export enquiries tell you who is already asking.
Food-contact and finish questions
Cookware buyers ask about coating and food-contact suitability. Say what you supply and what the coater supplies, and let their adviser name the standard.
