This Labor Day, NFFS is recognizing the skilled workers who keep our foundries—and American manufacturing—moving. Behind every casting is someone who prepared the mold, poured the metal, inspected the part, maintained the equipment, solved the problem or simply stayed a little longer to get the job done. Their work deserves recognition on Labor Day, and every day. Read our latest blog as we celebrate the people behind the castings and the essential role they play in keeping America running: https://lnkd.in/eNE_DmzK #LaborDay #NFFS #MetalCasting #FoundryIndustry #AmericanManufacturing #ManufacturingWorkforce Jerrod Weaver Bill Padnos Brianna Gianti Erin B.

Every major manufacturing investment begins with a series of questions. ➡️ Can production scale? Can materials move efficiently? Is reliable power available? Is the workforce ready? The answers to these questions shape every site selection decision, and ultimately determine whether a project moves from planning to production. At AE Shoals, our Barton Campus was built to answer those questions with purpose. From multimodal transportation access and industrial-scale infrastructure, to workforce development and room for future expansion - we’ve created a platform designed to support long term manufacturing growth. Capability isn’t just part of the conversation: it drives it. Operating from Cherokee, Alabama: AE Shoals, Barton Campus. #AEShoals #AdvancedManufacturing #DefenseIndustrialBase #EconomicDevelopment #siteselection

North Texas plants are winning orders faster than they can hire. The Dallas Fed's August survey put new orders at 22.0 while the employment index slipped to 8.0 — growth without the hands to do the work. I wrote up eight ways manufacturers are using video to attack both ends of that gap. The one most crews miss: OSHA requires safety training in a language and vocabulary employees actually understand, which quietly turns bilingual SOP video into a compliance instrument rather than a nice-to-have. The piece includes our Alfa Laval factory tour as an example of the standard we shoot to on a live industrial floor. https://lnkd.in/gpQexGRP #Manufacturing #VideoProduction #DFW
