We’re almost halfway through 2026, which makes it the perfect time to revisit an important topic ... . 🦺

For 30 years, the National Safety Council (NSC) has recognized National Safety Month in June, and we’re committed to doing our part to keep safety top of mind every day. Manufacturing and the lifting/rigging industry can be demanding, which is why our goal is always to minimize incidents and protect the crews.

Be sure to follow along this month as we share safety resources and reminders from both the Caldwell and the NSC teams. Construction, maintenance, and operations keep us busy. But safe practices help ensure everyone makes it home at the end of the day.

Share your own safety tips and photos with us throughout the month. Get involved, and stay safe and alert out there!

From classroom to full-time careers ... that’s what is all about 🎉

What better way to spend the day than at with Stateline Manufacturing Alliance - SMA?!

Part of the Caldwell crew attended to support our recent local high school graduates as they begin planning their professional careers at Caldwell (shoutout to the SMA team for all of the collaboration!). Supporting and investing in the next generation of tradespeople is at the core of what we do, and we’re honored to celebrate alongside their families, peers, and instructors.

Please give a warm welcome to these three Hononegah High School grads who are jumping into our Rockford facility full-time now:
🔹Emerson & Drew — Welding/Electrical Track
🔹Jesus — Grinding Operator

We recognize the work, effort, and dedication it took to reach this milestone, and we’re looking forward to all the future projects ahead. 🔥

Scrap metal. Small-town pride. Big talent. 🔥

You’d never guess these sculptures started as a pile of scrap metal.

Caldwell was proud to help sponsor the 2026 , where welding students brought this year’s “Hometown Roots” theme to life through creativity, craftsmanship, and a whole lot of sparks. ⚡

In just a few hours, students transformed scrap metal into something incredible … and they absolutely delivered. Which sculpture would get your vote? 👀

Big thanks to everyone who helped make this event such a success, including Weldstar Gases & Welding Supplies Technical Sales Rep, Jake Pederson, who organized the winning prizes; the entire Blackhawk Technical College and Stateline Manufacturing Alliance - SMA teams; Beloit Memorial High School Welding Instructor, Joe Kluge, and Career Academy Coach, Brian Michels; and our Caldwell crew: Amy, Alyssa, Matt, and Michael.

Proud to support the next generation of skilled trades in America 🇺🇸 Excited to see what’s next.

Construction Safety Week is always a strong reminder that safety is more than a priority … it’s a responsibility we all share. From the field to the jobsite, our goal is simple: help ensure every crew member goes home in the same condition they arrived in.

We’re proud to support the customers, contractors, and partners helping drive the growing construction industry forward. Throughout the week, many of our partners have hosted luncheons, trainings, and safety sessions for their operating crews. And our team is always happy to jump in, present, attend, and support however we can.

From training sessions at our headquarters to local open houses, jobsite visits, and regional events, we’re here to serve the people building this industry every day.

Today marks , and we’re giving a shoutout to the team members helping train the next generation of welders. 🔥

We recently delivered fifty Caldwell Model 5S Single Swivel Fork Hooks to Todd Vacek’s welding students at Highland Community College. Two of our welders, Matt and Grant, joined in for a campus visit to meet with students, talk QC standards at Caldwell, and share real-world insight with future welders of America.

Hands-on learning is one of the best ways to build skills ... and we’re proud to support it. Cheers to more collaboration and fun projects coming soon!

Feel free to swipe through for a few company luncheon photos showing how we celebrated our tradespeople today. Congrats to our tournament winners for coming out and staying active. 👏
