Our journey to becoming a Smart Foundry is off to a fantastic start. Our AI-driven strategy is already showing promising results, with significant scrap reductions in the sand discovery phase. 🏭✨ This is just the beginning. Our team has wholeheartedly embraced Monitizer, and the early outcomes are a testament to our innovative culture. We’re eager to embark on the next chapter - the melt phase - and continue revolutionizing our operations. In this photo, CTO Susan Bear and CEO Cary Wood are viewing Norican Group's Monitizer on their phone. They like having the information at their fingertips wherever they are. Here, they're at our foundry in St. Cloud, Minnesota. Stay tuned as we transform the art of the foundry into the science of metalcasting™.

At Grede, our dedication to energy conservation shines brighter each year. 🌤️🌳 This year, we’ve taken our commitment a step further by partnering with Cascade Energy once again. Their expertise has been invaluable in our quest to optimize energy use, and their recent visit to our flagship foundry in Reedsburg, Wisconsin, has illuminated new ways to enhance efficiency. We identified the following equipment as our highest energy consumers: compressed air, Cupola operation, dust collection, and makeup air systems. With Cascade’s guidance, we’ve identified impactful actions that promise significant kilowatt-hour savings, allowing us to forge ahead and reduce our energy footprint. Reflecting on last year’s Cascade Energy Tune-up at our New Castle, Indiana foundry, we’re proud to say that the energy reductions achieved there were monumental. It’s a testament to what we can accomplish with the right partnerships and a shared vision for a cleaner world. As an ENERGY STAR partner, we’re not just investing in our facilities; we’re investing in a clean energy future for all. A special thanks to Brennan Investment Group and Arch Street Capital Advisors for their support in these initiatives. Together, we’re molding a future that values sustainability at its core. #EnergyEfficiency #GredeGreenInitiative #SustainableManufacturing #CastingABrighterFuture

Our second-annual Intern & Grad Summit was a success! 🚀 Last week, 11 interns and 8 Grede Grads flew across the U.S. to Grede headquarters in Southfield, Michigan. The two-day event focused on interns on the first day and the grads on the second day. Day one started with breakfast with the CEO, where our interns and grads had dedicated time with CEO Cary Wood to hear from him and ask questions. Then, our interns shared what they learned this summer during the intern showcase. After lunch, they had a learning summit with sessions including finance 101, an intro to sales, and the basics of the melt process. The first day ended with a networking event at Topgolf. Stay tuned to hear more about the Grede Grads on day two in a separate post. By investing in our interns and grads, we’re investing in the future. We’re planting seeds to grow our company from within. 🪴 #GrowWithGrede #InvestingInTheFuture #Internship #FoundryIndustry #TalentDevelopment

Grede supports the Wish-A-Mile Bicycle Tour by Make-A-Wish Michigan. The 300-mile bike ride helps grant wishes to Michigan children with critical illnesses. Grede’s headquarters are in Southfield, Michigan. We’ve been supporting this event and local organization for nine years. Steve Sechrist, VP of Automotive Sales, and Susan Bear, Chief Technology Officer, are part of “Team Connor,” which is sponsored by Grede and named after the first child they granted a wish for when we started supporting this cause in 2015. Grede is matching donations (up to $12,000) and sponsored a break stop for the ride. Steve has been participating since 2015! He’s sharing his progress and location through his Cyclemeter App with those who have donated to his fundraising page. Our riders have been staying safe and making friends along the way during their various breaks! One of Grede’s core values is corporate citizenship; we’re highly involved in our communities. Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) responsibility and sustainability are embedded in everything we do. #WishAMile #Community #CorporateCitizenship #GoFurtherWithGrede
