Our largest pour capacity of 50,000 pounds (22,000 kilograms) yields a finished casting of 33,000 pounds (14,400 kilograms). Our employees are trained in quality control techniques, and the facilities operate under a quality system certified to ISO 9001 standards. These standards result in product consistency, predictability and quality. We value employee ideas and input to assist in process refinement and cost reduction. This savings is ultimately passed on to our customers. GIW uses the latest technology in casting and equipment. Engineered drawings are taken from paper or computer to reality in our own pattern shops. Replicated castings in wood, aluminum or plastics are engineered using perfected techniques. Molding operations include Alkyd, Furan, and Pep-set bonding systems in no-bake operations. This environment-friendly process and sand reclamation systems are used on all production lines. Daily sand testing provides information for statistical analysis that ensures superior mold and casting quality. Induction furnace equipment in our melting process uses a solid-state power supply to optimize power consumption and generate a lower-cost material. Spectrograph technology monitors the heat chemistry of all materials. Custom program edits based on this information produce a perfect match to our Engineering Material Specifications for every part. GIW’s superior material hardness and carbide structures require machining expertise that can only be developed through years of tooling experience. Our machining centers guarantee the highest efficiencies in the industry. GIW’s modern polyurethane plant is equipped with a continuous metering, mixing and dispensing machine. Full vacuum equipment is used for degasification of products to deliver top quality urethane lining. From foundry to final assembly, you can rely on manufacturing practices that include quality inspections, excellent process control, a conscientious attitude, and a desire to provide a superior product.
