Green sand. Air-set. Two processes. One foundry. ✅

This is our nobake air-set line — chemically-bonded sand curing on a rotary carousel, producing larger and more complex castings than green sand alone can handle.

Added in 2011. Still running strong. 80 years of aluminum casting experience behind every mold. 🇺🇸

80 years of green sand casting — and we're still perfecting it. 🔥

Green sand is one of the most proven processes in aluminum casting. At Olson Aluminum Castings, our closed-loop system refines and reuses the same sand continuously — consistent quality, pour after pour.

The result? Pressure-tight, leak-free castings that machine like billet. Built in Rockford, IL. 🇺🇸

Twin Disc, inc. Greenlee Tools. Two customers we've been casting parts for since the 1960s. 🤝

60+ years. Some of the shortest lead times in the industry. Same pressure-tight, leak-free quality.

When you get it right and keep showing up, customers stick around.

That's The Olson Way. 🇺🇸

5 years of showing up, getting it done, and keeping us moving. 🎉

Congratulations to Matt Henderson on his 5-year anniversary at Olson Aluminum Castings! As our Purchasing Materials Coordinator, Matt keeps the materials flowing so our foundry never misses a beat.

We couldn't do it without you, Matt. Here's to the next five. 🤝

Nothing brings a crew together like great food and a busy foundry floor 🔥🐔

We had an awesome time hosting Disco Chicken right here at Olson Aluminum Castings—serving up some of the best fried sandwiches in the game while we kept the pours rolling. There’s just something about pouring castings and eating chicken that makes for a pretty perfect day.

Huge thank you to Paul and the entire Disco Chicken team for coming out. Our crew loved every bite!
