This week, Grede connected with plenty of students at Michigan Technological University's Foundry Fest career fair! 🎓👩🎓 Michigan Tech, a research university focused on science and engineering in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, is one of our Grow with Grede partner schools. Grede Iron Mountain is also located in the U.P., and our very own Tyler Hill, Vice President of Commercial Vehicle and Industrial Operations (on the very right in the first picture), and Anna Palmcook, Grede Grad (pictured to the left of Tyler), are both MTU alumni. MTU has a fantastic Materials Science and Engineering degree, so we were eager to meet students interested in the foundry of the future. Blizzard T. Huskie, their school mascot, even gave us his resume. 😂 #GrowWithGrede #TalentDevelopment #FoundryOfTheFuture #MaterialsScienceAndEngineering
Congratulations to Grede New Castle for achieving two years without a lost time incident! ⭐⭐ Grede New Castle in Indiana achieved two years of zero lost time incidents on July 29, 2024. They celebrated this achievement last week with a cookout and provided all team members with a special t-shirt and cooler bag. The team also reached one million hours without a lost-time incident on Dec. 13, 2023. These remarkable achievements are a testament to the collective effort and commitment to the safety of the entire team. When asked what is next for the team at New Castle, “We aren’t going to stop here,” said Mark Brock, General Manager. “We aren’t going to lower any of our standards. Our next goal is two million incident-free hours.” #SafetySuccess #SafetyCulture #UnitedGrede
It’s Hispanic Heritage Month. In this video, Delio Duran Myles from our foundry in Iron Mountain, Michigan, talks about what he does on a typical day as a heavy castings cell operator in the finishing department and what makes Grede a great place to work. Delio Duran is originally from Puerto Rico, and we’re thrilled to have had him on the team for over six years. Grede has a sizeable Spanish-speaking workforce, and we're proud to be a Spanish-speaking friendly employer. #HispanicHeritageMonth #SpanishSpeakingFriendlyEmployer #EmployeeSpotlight

A Meeting of Minds: Grede’s Blend of Student Education and Technology Collaboration 🎓🚀 Grede Headquarters in Southfield, Michigan, recently had the pleasure of hosting two bright students from Stevenson High School's MADE program (Manufacturing Automation Design Engineering). They spent time shadowing our engineering team to gain insights into the daily tasks, requirements, and environment of engineers and other positions within manufacturing companies. We also welcomed Chuck Brandt, Chief Technology Officer from the ARM Institute (Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing), and Jeannine Kunz, Chief Work Development Officer from SME (Society of Manufacturing Engineers). Alongside Grede’s own experts, Susan Bear Sabet, our Chief Technology Officer, Jeff Paxton, Director of Product Engineering, and Matt Hladki, Chief Administrative Officer, we shared with Jeannine and Chuck how Grede is transforming “from the art of the foundry to the science of metalcasting™, specifically including innovations like automated robotic cells, 3D printing for sand cores, and our smart manufacturing IoT strategy. Chuck shared ARM’s mission, vision, capabilities, and goal to expand their impact on the casting industry. The meeting highlighted potential collaborations with ARM to drive technological advancements not only at our plants but across the entire casting industry. The students got to sit on this meeting as well. #IronIngenuity #Technology #ArtToScience #communityeducation
Grede Biscoe goes #GreenForSafety. ✅👕 Each team member at our Biscoe, NC facility recently received green t-shirts to keep our #1 priority in mind—staying safe. The back of the shirt shares our goal to “soar into safety” for the rest of the year. At the end of Safety Month, the Biscoe team held a cookout celebration and ordered these shirts to “go green for safety” along with the National Safety Council. The photos show the finance, first-shift operations, quality engineering, and production control teams. Safety is about doing the harder right over the easier wrong. At Grede, we’re building a safety culture that lasts. The work is never done when it comes to safety. Once we’ve achieved zero incidents, then we know we’ve met our ultimate goal. But every second, every minute, and every day, we need to keep safety at the forefront. #SafetyCulture #UnitedGrede #EHS
