New Casting Facility in U.S. Close to Completion 新铸铁厂即将竣工
According to the Columbia County News-Times, a new
50,000-sq.-ft. white iron casting facility in Grovetown, Ga., will open this month and become fully operational this summer. Te facility will serve GIW Industries, a pump supplier that is a full subsidiary of global mining company KSB Group, Frankenthal, Germany. Te current expansion, which also includes added heat
treatment capabilities, will ensure that KSB’s GIW Miner- als products will be ready for growing market demands. It is part of a $75-million five-year investment plan that also includes a new distribution center and upgrades to a produc- tion facility in Tomson, Ga. Te expansion meets the requirements needed to handle
larger components, allowing the company to increase ef- ficiencies while continuing to uphold its world-class quality and safety standards. “In the entire world, only 10% of iron foundries make
white irons, and nobody can make the materials we do,” said Richard Sterzen, industrial engineering manager at GIW Industries. “In addition, there are only a few foundries that can manufacture the large casting sizes our customers need.” GIW Industries started as a small metalcasting and ma-
chine shop and has been in business for well over a century. Its facilities have been located in Grovetown and Tomson for 49 and 40 years. Te current expansion will provide new permanent employee positions, along with a large number of temporary construction jobs over the next three to four years.

据《哥伦比亚郡新闻时报》，一个约4645平方米的白 口铸铁厂将于本月在乔治亚州格罗夫敦成立，并将于今 年夏天全面投产。
该厂将服务于泵生产企业GIW工业公司，该公司是德 国法兰肯塔尔的全球矿业公司KSB集团的全资子公司。 新建工厂还增加了热处理能力，这将保证KSB集团 GIW子公司的产品可以满足不断增长的市场需求。这是 投资总额为7500万美元的5年投资计划的一部分，该投 资项目还包括在乔治亚州汤姆逊新建一个分销中心并升 级改造生产厂。
新建工厂将使公司满足生产较大铸件的要求，提高生 产效率，并继续保持其世界水平的质量和安全标准。 “全世界只有10%的铸铁企业生产白口铸铁，我们的 产品是独一无二的。”GIW公司工业工程经理Richard Sterzen说，“此外，只有很少的铸造企业能够生产出客 户所需要的大尺寸铸件。”
GIW公司起初是家小型的铸造和机加工厂，已有 100多年的历史。其工厂分别位于格罗夫敦和汤姆逊， 分别已有49年和40年的历史。新建工厂将提供永久工 作岗位，并在今后的3-4年内提供大量的临时建筑工人 岗位。
The expansion will add 50,000 sq. ft. of space to the exist- ing metalcasting operations (shown) at GIW Industry’s Grovetown, Ga., location.
