Navistar Recalls Workers, Adds Foam Capabilities Navistar 正在招聘工人，增加消失模铸造能力
Navistar International Corp., Warrenville, Ill., U.S., re-
called 150 workers to its Indianapolis metalcasting facility and expects to hire 100 additional workers by 2014. Te company also plans to begin using the ductile iron lost foam casting process in its Waukesha, Wis., metalcasting facility this year. According to a company press release, the recall was planned in response to the growth of Pure Power Technolo- gies LLC, Columbia, S.C., U.S., the truck maker’s newly created engine components business. One of the few remaining U.S. block and head casting
facilities, the Indianapolis plant has capacity available to serve outside diesel engine manufacturers, in addition to responding to the needs of its parent company. “Te Indianapolis [facility] is a part of our efforts to maintain manufacturing capabilities and technical skills in the U.S.,” said Eric Tech, president of the Navistar Engine Group. Navistar said the recall is part of its strategy to improve the capabilities of Pure Power, which integrates research and development, engineering, manufacturing and metalcasting to produce diesel power systems, advanced emissions control systems and industrial castings. Te division operates several research and development centers and the metalcasting facility in Waukesha, in addition to Indianapolis. Navistar expects the addition of lost foam capabilities at
the Waukesha plant to give it the ability to produce near- net-shape castings without cores. “Adding this capability to the Pure Power portfolio will
further enable growth and success,” said Rick Bacon, the company’s director of metalcasting operations. ■
位于美国伊利诺伊州的Warrenville 的Navistar国际 公司宣布将在2011年6月前招聘150名工人到印第安纳 波利斯铸造厂，并在2014年再增加100名员工。该公司 还计划今年开始在威斯康辛州的Waukesha厂开始采用 消失模铸铁件生产。
该公司在一次新闻发布会上透露，该招聘是由于位 于南卡莱罗纳州哥伦布市的一家卡车公司Pure Power Technologies LLC公司新增加的发动机零部件业务。 美国明尼阿波利斯工厂是美国少数仅有的缸体缸盖 生产厂，该厂有能力在为母公司服务的同时为其它的柴 油机制造商服务。
Navistar发动机集团总裁Eric Tech说：“明尼阿波 利斯工厂是我们在美国保持制造能力和技术的部分努 力。我们的投资将使公司更具有竞争力以便满足世界对 柴油发动机工业的需求。
Navistar公司说招聘工人是提高Pure Power公司产 能的战略的一部分，这将把研发、工程、制造和铸造集 成起来生产柴油机系统、先进排放控制系统和工业用铸 件。该部门除了在明尼阿波利斯外在Waukesha也有几 个研发中心和铸造厂。 Navistar公司希望在Waukesha工厂增加消失模铸造 能力生产不需要芯子的近精成形铸件，以节约客户的加 工成本和时间。
该公司的铸造部门经理Rick Bacon说：“提高Pure
Power的产能将会带来业务增长和成功。我们感到很兴 奋，因为这将在给客户增值的同时降低成本。” ■
