Yoder Industries began as a privately owned and operated manufacturer of aluminum and zinc die castings. Our company was incorporated in 1956 under the sole ownership of J.B. Yoder.

Yoder Industries, Inc., was first located in downtown Dayton, Ohio. In 1956, J.B. Yoder designed and built the first die cast machine used by Yoder Industries and produced inflator bodies for navy life preservers (a product Yoder still manufacturers today). In 1960, J.B. Yoder built the headquarters facility at 2520 Needmore Road.

In 1986 Don Yoder, his nephew, purchased the business from J.B. In 1997 the second facility was purchased, formerly, Dayton Die Cast located at 3009 Production Court in Dayton, Ohio.

In 1998 Tim and Pam (Yoder) Stewart begin to acquire ownership in Yoder Industries. Upon Don Yoder’s retirement, Tim and Pam (Yoder) Stewart purchased the business in 2006.

Today, Yoder has emerged into a complete full-service die casting company with 2 facilities in Dayton, OH. Yoder has combined 80,000 square feet of operating space with over 20 die cast machines ranging in tonnage from 250T to 900T. Yoder has progressed through 3 generations of ownership and as of May, 2012, is pleased to announce the change to an ESOP Owned company. Yoder has served the automotive industry for over 30 years.
