Changing of the guard

Over the past few months I have visited several long term customers where the businesses have been handed down to the next generation (both men and women) and with that has come a renewed desire to utilize their systems as fully as possible.

In some cases this has been the passing to sons & daughters and is some cases son-in-laws have taken the reigns. It is a great thing to see this happening in an industry that many young people would consider a part of our industrial past but that is still a vibrant and essential part of our future, with foundries readily and eagerly embracing new technologies to help with both quality & speed of getting first article approval or short run quantities.

Welcome to a new generation of foundry visionaries

  Upbeat AFS Texas Meeting

  Posted on 06 February 2017 in NEWS

  Howdy from Texas,
  
  I’m just back from the January 2017 AFS, American Foundry Society, meeting at the Sam Houston Horse Race Track; in Houston, none the less!
  
  It is always so good to catch up with fellow metalcasters that embody the spirit of the AFS and continue the long historical legacy of turning liquid metal into castings! The turnout for the board and general meeting was better than expected and in the end, it turned out to be a large crowd of approximately seventy members.

  Giving Back

  Posted on 09 December 2022 in Blog

  During the festive season I tend to notice more than ever the divide of people who can afford a wonderful happy day and those who simple can’t make ends meet. Now this year has been slightly different with the cost-of-living crisis making everyone feel the pinch so I have pulled together a few ideas/ways you can give back this Christmas.
