Proud to share an insightful article written by Bryan Brewer on the evolution of primary and secondary PPE in molten aluminum environments.

As safety challenges continue to evolve, so does the technology behind the protective gear workers rely on every day. Bryan explores how innovations in fabrics, fiber blends, and garment construction are helping improve protection, comfort, and wearability without compromising performance.

It's a great look at where the industry has been, where it's headed, and why continued innovation in PPE matters for worker safety.

Another Year, Another Great Salesman Cookout!

We just wrapped up another awesome salesman cookout at our Illinois and Indiana plants, and it's always one of the highlights of the year.
There's nothing better than bringing our team together to enjoy great food and celebrate the relationships that help drive our success. It's a great reminder that while we manufacture products, it's the people behind them that make the biggest difference. Check out Craig Minnette, manning the grill and rocking a pair of our high-temp gloves!

Thank you to everyone who helped organize, cook, and participate. We appreciate the hard work and dedication of our entire team and look forward to continuing this tradition for years to come.

A big congratulations to Karen Acton on her retirement after 10 years of outstanding service as our Purchasing Manager!
Karen has been a vital part of our operations and a trusted teammate who helped keep things running smoothly day in and day out. Her experience, commitment, and ability to make the impossible happen will be incredibly missed. Even in her final months, Karen has gone above and beyond by dedicating her time to training her replacement and helping ensure a smooth transition, just one more example of her professionalism and commitment to the team.

Thank you, Karen, for everything you've done over the last decade. We wish you nothing but happiness, good health, and plenty of time to enjoy the things you love.

Congratulations on a well-deserved retirement!
