Kyle Myszka, a metallurgist at the Marinette ductile iron foundry, nominated supervisor Joe Keske and Human Resources Manager Phil Eatherton for being supportive while he served in Army Reserves officer candidate school.

A muller, furnace and safety equipment is being provided.

This safety record at MetalTek's Waukesha site has extended well over two years.

The new facility, which is co-located with Walbro’s engine management plant in Los Mochis, will share management, supply chain and administrative services with the existing plant.

The molding line includes state-of-the-art programmable logic controls, powered conveyors from molding to pouring, a mass flow binder control system and a rollover capable of handling up to a 72 x 48 x 36 in. mold section.

Skuld LLC is focused on innovating in the metalcasting industry. They are offering near net shape steel lost foam castings and offering this technology in stainless and low carbon steels. Skuld also offers thin walled ductile iron going down as thin as 0.070 in., which gives it the ability to use castings to replace stampings.

The plant is expected to be completed by the fall of 2018 and will take the place of a facility in East Jordan, Michigan.

Installation of the new system started during their summer shutdown which began on July 24th. The new closed loop cooling system is expected to be more efficient and also reduce maintenance costs while eliminating unnecessary downtime.

The project would add up to 20 jobs by 2020.
