Our June employee spotlight goes to Keith W. Keith has been with O’Fallon Casting for 17 years. His brother also worked for O’Fallon Casting when it was Hitchner in the 80’s. Keith had dedicated his career with us in the Rough Inspection department of Grind. Grind is a crucial secondary operation that removes excess metal, smooths surface imperfections, and ensures that the part meets strict dimensional tolerances.
“It takes a lot for me to quit. I love figuring out how to best get a gate out of geometrically intricate part and I always aim to achieve the tightest tolerances.”
Through all his tenacious hard work, knowledge, and experience Keith has been able to excel in his department as a Grind Specialist, Level 4. Both his floor and department supervisors share the same appreciation;
“Keith has been an excellent employee and is very knowledgeable in his position as Head Grinder. His training and leadership have made the Grind Department better in so many ways. We are glad to have him; this recognition is well deserved.”
Speaking to Keith you can hear his passion and see the special care he puts into his work. He loves to help whenever he can, which has also led him to be our “Grind Tour Guide” in our IC-201 classes.
Keith calls himself an outdoorsman, and you can find him on is boat fishing or anything on the water when he is not doing all he can at O’Fallon Casting.
