Everyone,
I just wanted to share a couple photo's with you and a little history.
I have worked for our company for almost 3 years now and I love every minute of it. We are the largest steel foundry in the world. We pour the largest single castings, and make various other railroad parts. As some of you all know, we used to be called "Buckeye Steel castings" Which went down in bankrupcy in 2001. We have been open with Columbus Steel Castings since 2003 and are doing real well. I get sick and tired of when someone ask's me what I do for a living and I tell them where I work, I get "Oh that place" It's not that bad to work here, I mean yea its dirty and hot and nasty, but its gratifiying that we make some awesome castings. Molding and pouring is a crazy process to take on in a place like ours. Our company was originaly founded in 1881 and had almost 2000 people back in the day, and now we are at our highest to date under the new name since 2003.
Here are a couple photo's of me doing my job, I am a Product / Quality Specialist in large industrial castings. The casting that we are pouring in this photo is a new Ship Anchor for the US Navy, which Anthony may like. This casting will go on the USS New York and a fiew others. The casting pour weight is 30,000 lbs wich is small compared to our largest pour of 80 tons.
