Doug Grimm, chief executive officer of Grede Holdings LLC, Novi, Mich., recently gave MODERN CASTING a breakdown of how two metalcasting giants come together.
In the wake of the closure of casting facilities by nearly all of the major suppliers of ductile iron pipe, executives for U.S. Pipe, Birmingham, Ala., say they have reason to believe the industry is on the brink of a comeback.
General Motors is revving up its metalcasting division once again. In a January press conference, the company announced its Defiance casting plant would get a chunk of a huge new investment.
Metal casting supplier Farrar Corp., Norwich, Kan., talks about working with post tensioning systems provider Schwager Davis Inc., San Jose, Calif., to deliver the ductile iron base plates and anchor heads it needs.
