Opening Doors: Manufacturing Day and Community Engagement

A student can’t consider a career they’ve never seen.

That’s why we invite them onto our foundry floor—to see modern manufacturing in action and help them connect the work happening here with things they already know, use, and enjoy.

Those discoveries follow them back to the classroom. Geometry might mean a little more when they’ve held a turbocharger housing and learned how it fits into an engine.

Computer programming takes on new meaning when they’ve watched it guide a 10-foot robotic arm.

Manufacturing Day is an initiative started by the National Association of Manufacturers that helps bridge the gap between education and vocation, showing students how the things they enjoy learning about can easily lead to jobs they’d enjoy doing.

Our latest blog takes a closer look at the importance of Manufacturing Day: https://hubs.li/Q04BYF_Y0

“Being an employee-owner makes me look at the bigger picture.”

“You own part of this company, so you should be out there striving to do your best.”

That’s what thinking like an owner looks like on our team.

October is ESOP Month, and it’s time to recognize what employee ownership means at the Eagle Group.

Our ESOP gives employees a stake in the company’s success and an opportunity to share in the long-term value they help create.

As company co-founder and board chair, John Workman, puts it:

“We’ve got a mantra to think like an owner, and when you get a share of the profits, you think like an owner.”

Employee ownership is also about the future—keeping jobs here in Muskegon, preserving the culture we’ve built, and creating a sustainable future for the Eagle Group and its employees.

To kick off ESOP Month, hear from John, Mark Fazakerley, and a few of our employee-owners about what employee ownership means to them. 👇

Rapid prototyping expands what foundries can accomplish.

Sometimes traditional tooling is the answer, but increasingly it's complemented by the latest timeline-accelerating technology.

In the latest issue of American Foundry Society’s Casting Source magazine, Eagle Alloy and Humtown Additive discuss how rapid prototyping succeeds when additive manufacturing and conventional foundry processes work together:

🔹 CAD development and reverse engineering
🔹 Gating and solidification simulation
🔹 3D-printed sand molds and cores
🔹 Conventional pouring and finishing
🔹 Dimensional and metallurgical inspection

Congratulations, Nate and Sheldon!

Here, an Eagle Precision team member makes quick work of separating the casting from its gating system.

A gating system has one very important job: give molten metal a controlled path into the mold cavity.

But once the metal has solidified, it's gotta go. The same gates and runners that were essential during pouring become excess material that requires summary removal... by torch cutting.
