Last week, we held our annual Grede Leadership Meeting in Detroit. Over 60 senior leaders across the company came together to discuss our performance in 2023 and our priorities for 2024. Our operations, sales, technology, and functional leaders collaborated on advancing our strategic imperatives, including innovation, sustainability, and operational excellence, to ensure our customers can go further with Grede this year. #GoFurtherWithGrede #Leadership #Strategy
Casting design—are you doing it right? OEMs are experts in fit, form, and function to manufacture their vehicles. However, they might not know the technicalities of the casting manufacturing process. At Grede, our full-service engineering capabilities include #lightweighting, initial design concepts, design optimization, material optimization, advanced #manufacturing techniques, #design for manufacturing, and even casting 101 classes.
Our skilled trades team members are vital in keeping our equipment running to enable operational execution and outstanding delivery performance. We’ve launched a new training program and skill-based wage structure for maintenance technicians and electricians to expand their proficiency and provide opportunities to increase earnings. Together, the programs enable our skilled trade workers to increase their wages based on increasing their skills. The new training structure has six levels and is hosted in Casting College, Grede’s eLearning platform. It’ll help increase the competencies and engagement of our maintenance employees, reduce turnover, standardize processes, and improve uptime. We launched the new structure in half of Grede’s facilities and will implement it in our remaining plants in 2024. #GrowWithGrede #SkilledTrades #Maintenance #LearningAndDevelopment #Training

This week, we honor the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., a leader who dedicated his life to equality. His advocacy for civil rights has left an indelible mark on our society. One of our core values at Grede is corporate citizenship, and we encourage each other to volunteer and improve our communities. At Grede, we’re committed to promoting a workplace culture that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive. #MLKDay #Diversity #Equity #Inclusion #Community
