Grede has been named a Top Workplace by the Detroit Free Press! 🏆🎉 Grede was listed as #23 out of 101 companies on the Small Michigan Top Workplace list. Being named a Top Workplace is a big deal — only 198 companies made this year’s list.

Congratulations to Grede Iron Mountain for achieving two years without a lost time incident! ⭐⭐ Grede Iron Mountain in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan achieved this safety milestone on Aug. 19, 2024. They celebrated last week with an all-employee luncheon and provided all team members with a special hoodie. They were also recognized with the Safe Year Award by the American Foundry Society in early October. This is our second foundry to reach this achievement this year! Grede New Castle also continues their safety streak of two years without a lost time incident. Our safety culture is paramount. This milestone is an excellent example of how we demonstrate our most important value of safety as a company.
Grede had the pleasure of hosting the foundry tour and attending the Ductile Iron Society's Annual Fall Conference over the past three days in St. Cloud, Minnesota. During the conference, 100 DIS members attended various committee meetings, panels, and technical sessions about thermal analysis, clay activation, ductile iron treatment, and more. The meeting ended with a tour of Grede St. Cloud. Our very own Robb Schmidt, Metallurgical Engineer from St. Cloud, spoke on a panel about ductile iron treatment methods. Robb did a fantastic job discussing the Fischer Converter case study. Did you know that Grede is the biggest ductile iron casting provider in the U.S.? We're proud to be part of the Ductile Iron Society and were happy to host this year's foundry tour. Thank you, DIS, for organizing another excellent conference. We're looking forward to the next meeting.
Have you met Mo the Metal Man? He got dressed up for Halloween! 🌭😆 What do you think his next costume will be? Share your guesses in the comments!

We decided to dress him up for Halloween this year, and he will wear a different costume each week! Stay tuned for more updates as his costume changes! 🎃
