The company, Tåsinge Kokillestøberi, has been casting in aluminum since 1974, and primarily acted as a subcontractor to the Danish industry, where parts were cast for lamps, covers for engines and mini golf clubs.
In 1999, the company came up with the idea to supplement the production with post caps for fencing and for poles.
The name Kokille (mold casting in English) was chosen as a brand, in order to encourage people to want to learn more about mold casting.
The post caps have since then repositioned itself from being a small niche to becoming the biggest part of the production with sales in both Europe and the USA.
Meanwhile, when the post caps were launched in the USA, it became clear that the name Kokille would not work. The name QuickCap by Kokille was thus introduced.
The post caps have been the inspiration for developing a whole new instrument, Aluphone. Please learn more by clicking on the following link: www.aluphone.dk
