management, Joseph’s grandson Bruce Barron is President and CEO. Bruce joined his father after graduating from The University of Notre Dame where he studied chemical engineering. “I was working for a Chicago-based

As well as authoring several technical papers for the metal products industry, Bruce has served as chairman of the Investment Casting Division of the American Foundry Society.
