Expanding Horizons: Memorial Day Reflections and Our Commitment to American Manufacturing

May 27, 2023

On this glorious beginning to Memorial Day weekend, our thoughts are with the brave Americans who fought and died to protect our way of life.

The story of our company could not have happened anywhere else. With our latest expansion project marching ahead full steam, we are proud to be investing in #AmericanManufacturing. We are deeply grateful to all who have sacrificed in service of our great nation.

The 55,000 square-foot addition will allow us to expand our permanent-mold casting capacity for both tilt/static and low-pressure pouring. We will also be able to expand our air-set molding options and install new workcells for finishing cast parts. This addition will create 80 new jobs in Manitowoc, WI and expand our economic growth “in key target markets such as electric vehicles, medical equipment, and consumer products.”
