Today, A.Y. McDonald officially opened our brand new, state-of-the-art brass foundry in Dickeyville, Wisconsin. After 170 years in business, moments like this still feel monumental.
It was emotional. It was exciting. And it was a reminder of just how many people it takes to make something this big happen. Thousands of people played a role in bringing this project to life, and it will impact many thousands more.
But from day one, our focus was always on the people who make A.Y. McDonald what it is: our incredible co-workers and our . Foundries are traditionally hot, loud, dirty, and dangerous. Our mission was simple: build a foundry that is less hot, less loud, less dirty, and less dangerous.
And we did it.
Our co-workers now have a modern space with natural lighting, brand-new machines and equipment, and an entire basement designed so they donât have to enter pits.
And for our customers, this investment means significant new capabilitiesâallowing us to produce brass castings like never before.
The ribbon is cut. The doors are open. And now itâs time to roll up our sleeves and pour some brass. The real work has just begun.
