Three decades casting custom aluminum components for automotive, hydraulic, and industrial customers across the United States, Canada and Mexico — engineered in Torreón, delivered on time.
VICAN Combustion is an aluminum foundry born in Torreón, Coahuila in 1993 — originally founded as DME Castings with just three employees dedicated to pattern making and tooling for the foundry industry.
Within two years we were producing aluminum castings for major Mexican manufacturers, and by 1996 we began exporting to industrial customers in the United States. Today VICAN supplies precision aluminum components to international companies in the automotive and hydraulic sectors across North America.
Our proximity to the U.S. border — minutes from key crossings at Laredo and El Paso, Texas — enables fast turnaround and reliable delivery to customers throughout the United States and Canada, making us a strategic near-shoring partner.
