Exploring partnerships to take root 🌱 A couple of weeks ago, CEO Cary Wood and President and Head of Commercial Tony Lovell traveled to India to explore expanding Grede’s global footprint and partnerships. Not only did they learn and collaborate, but they also engaged in a tradition of giving back to the earth by planting trees outside the foundry. They immersed themselves in India’s rich culture and witnessed the artistry of foundry work, rapid advancements, and significant investments to push boundaries and support our global customers. Here’s to collaboration, innovation, and the endless possibilities of a connected world. 🌏

It’s time for a spark of renewable energy! ✨ Grede is focused on reducing its environmental impact and drives sustainability downstream with its suppliers. One of Grede’s biggest top areas of spending is the alloys we use in our melt process. Elkem is Grede’s largest supplier of alloys. Each year, Grede buys 14 million pounds of alloys from Elkem. Elkem, a leader in renewable energy, uses 100% hydroelectric energy to produce the alloys supplied to Grede! 💧🌊 #RenewableEnergyDay #HydroPower #CastingABrighterFuture #GoFutherWithGrede
Women are making history every day at Grede. Today, we’re spotlighting and celebrating HR Director Arlene Bolton. Arlene has been with Grede for over four years and was promoted from HR Manager to HR Director nearly two years ago. Her tenacity, kindness, and strategic thinking are just a few qualities that make her a powerful and empathetic leader. #WomensHistoryMonth #GrowWithGrede #DEI #Inclusion #Equality
Happy first day of spring! For over a century, Grede has provided reliable iron castings to the ag industry, keeping our farms growing. All ten of our plants have a hand in producing castings for our customers in the agriculture industry, such as John Deere, CNH, and AGCO. #AgricultureWeek #Spring #CastingIntegrity #GoFurtherWithGrede
Grede partners with a potting soil manufacturer in North Carolina to repurpose its foundry sand into potting soil. 🌱 Because of this, our plant in Biscoe, NC, reduced landfill waste by 98% last year! ♻ They combine the foundry sand with wood chips to make the soil. Recycling is just one part of the process. Reducing and reusing materials are equally, if not more, important. Grede’s potting soil project is just one example of how we reuse foundry sand to reduce waste. Our sand is also reused to create airport runways, cement, roads, construction projects, etc. #GlobalRecyclingDay #BeneficialReuse #Sustainability #CastingABrightFuture
At Grede, we have the best technicians in the industry. Ivy Tech Community College recently asked two of our technicians to instruct courses this semester. John Waters, an Environmental Technician, is teaching an electrical class, and Christian Willis, a PLC Technician, is teaching a PLC class. Grede has a great relationship with Ivy Tech, and we’re proud to be involved in our community. It’s another example of how we’re demonstrating our corporate citizenship value. We’re also proud to be part of educating and developing more skilled trades workers. They aren’t a dime a dozen in the foundry industry, and we greatly value their work to keep equipment running and enable operational execution. #SkilledTrades #CorporateCitizenship #Technicians #GoFurtherWithGrede
Grede is a proud sponsor of Women in Metalcasting by the American Foundry Society, which provides networking, mentoring, and professional development for women.
