We had a wonderful morning connecting with students at the Shenandoah High School Career Fair! Christian and Brett were happy to talk about future pathways and what goes into modern manufacturing.

Did you know just how many moving parts make up a foundry? From advanced engineering and quality control to production, logistics, and maintenance, there are roles for all kinds of talents and interests.

Thanks for having us out, SHS! 🤝🔥

🌟 Employee Spotlight: Dwayne Thompson 🌟

This month, we're proud to recognize Dwayne Thompson, a Heat Treat Operator at Grede Meadville, who has dedicated the past 17 years to Grede.

Dwayne is known for his teamwork, extensive foundry and finishing knowledge, and strong commitment to safety. He is always willing to step in wherever help is needed, whether it's supporting production, filling in for breaks, learning new processes, or assisting other departments. His ability to identify process issues and take initiative has earned him the respect of teammates throughout the plant.
A natural mentor, Dwayne enjoys helping new hires feel welcome and sharing his knowledge to help them succeed both professionally and personally. He recently stepped in during a customer audit, quickly learned the Brinell process, and helped the team successfully pass the audit.

Dwayne's positive attitude, willingness to go above and beyond, and dedication to safety, housekeeping, and teamwork make him an invaluable member of the Grede Meadville team.
Thank you, Dwayne, for your 17 years of hard work and commitment. We appreciate everything you do! 👏

Grede leadership was proud to join the American Foundry Society in Washington, D.C. this week as CEO Reid Southby and CTO/CHRO Susan Bear Sabet met with House and Senate representatives on Capitol Hill.

Together, we advocated for the strength of U.S. manufacturing, the future of domestic iron casting, and the policies needed to keep American foundries globally competitive.

A strong manufacturing sector strengthens our economy, our workforce, and our national resilience — and Grede is committed to being a leading voice in that effort.

Yesterday, we celebrated something truly special at Grede Reedsburg — our people. Management fired up the grills for a three shift cook off to thank every team member for their unwavering commitment to safety and for achieving an incredible milestone: 2 million hours worked without a lost-time incident.

This accomplishment reflects discipline, ownership, and a culture where every individual looks out for one another. Safety isn’t a slogan here — it’s who we are.

To the entire Reedsburg team: thank you for making safety your top priority and for setting the standard for our industry. Your dedication is what keeps Grede strong.

Employee Spotlight: Heather Mazoch

This month, we are excited to recognize Heather Mazoch of Menomonee Falls for her outstanding contributions and continued professional growth at Grede.

Heather joined Grede in March 2025 and quickly made a positive impact through her dedication, leadership, and commitment to continuous improvement. In recognition of her hard work and strong performance, she was promoted to HR Manager in October 2025.

Heather is passionate about professional development and has continued to expand her expertise while at Grede. She currently holds both her SHRM-CP certification and OSHA 10 certification, demonstrating her strong foundation in human resources and workplace safety. In addition, Heather earned her Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt during her time at Grede, further strengthening her process improvement and operational knowledge.

Continuing her commitment to growth and excellence, Heather recently completed the required coursework for her IATF Internal Auditor certification. We wish her the best of luck as she completes the final exam this July!

Employee Spotlight: The Strength Behind our Iron

Spotlighting Demitrius Reza, a powerful example of why our people are Grede’s greatest strength.

From day one as a CNC Machine Operator, Demitrius brought professionalism, initiative, and a commitment to doing things the right way to our Biscoe, NC plant. He took on every challenge, asked smart questions, and consistently elevated the quality of the work around him. His attention to detail and quality mindset earned him a well-deserved promotion to Machining Quality Inspector.

Today, Demitrius continues to demonstrate what makes our workforce exceptional — dependability, curiosity, and a drive to improve the operation every single day. Employees like Demitrius are the reason our machining department succeeds, and the reason Grede continues to grow stronger.

We’re proud of his journey and excited for all that’s ahead.

Our very own Nate Cowen, Grede Account Manager, spent Easter in Washington DC at the annual Easter Egg Roll! Here Nate was able to spend some time perusing the presidential limo! The presidential limo provides a rolling testament to the innovation, craftsmanship, and advanced engineering that power the U.S. mobility and automotive industry.

From its precision engineered chassis to its integrated safety systems, the limo brings together the best of American manufacturing:
• Cutting edge materials developed by domestic suppliers
• Advanced mobility technologies designed and tested by top automotive engineers
• Specialized components produced by high skill manufacturing teams across the country
• Rigorous quality and safety standards that set the benchmark for the entire industry

The result is a vehicle that represents the capabilities, resilience, and global competitiveness of the U.S. automotive sector.

In a world where mobility is rapidly evolving, the presidential limo stands as a reminder of what American engineering can achieve when innovation, security, and manufacturing excellence come together.
