Premier Die Casting Company currently casts three aluminum die castings for BIXI System in Montreal, Canada.
BIXI is a company that supplies their public bike system to many cities worldwide. BIXI was created from a clean sheet with the intention of marrying the practical with the aesthetic. World-renowned industrial designer Michel Dallaire was entrusted with the design of the physical components. The bikes themselves feature clean lines and a sleek look that in no way compromises their sturdiness and safety. Design elements are carried over to the technical platforms, bike docks and pay stations.
Recently I was fortunate to attend the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) Manufacturing Summit held in Washington, DC on June 15th and 16th, 2011.
