Waukesha Manufacturing Process

Over the years our manufacturing process had come to include; melting, core making, molding, casting processing
(fettling and grinding), heat treating, coating, machining, some assembly and distribution.

Waukesha has and continues to invest in new equipment and process technology in order to remain a viable competitor in the foundry industry.  We focus production on many grades of ductile iron castings and still offer products with various levels of value added processes.  Many of those value add services are  performed by various suppliers called “Tier 2” suppliers while the foundry focuses specifically on the production of castings.  This has helped to improve the overall cost of manufacture and allows Waukesha employees to narrowly focus on the casting process while leaving the value add service expertise to the various T2 suppliers. Waukesha now produces and sells the total cast product but does so thru managing a network of T2 suppliers and all related logistics. Our Environmental Management System conforms to the ISO 14001:2004 standard and with all Local, State, and Federal requirements.
