Waupaca Foundry, Inc. is the largest gray and ductile iron sand caster in the world, and a business leader in state-of-the-art technology implementation. The company has shaped the green foundry business since the early 2000s and today is recognized as a leader in the foundry sector for integrating sustainable business practices throughout its manufacturing operations.
In 2016, Waupaca Foundry, Inc. became the first foundry in the US to be ISO50001 certified, at its Plant 1 location in Waupaca, WI. Today, the company implements this standard as a management system approach to energy reduction corporate-wide.
As part of its continual improvement efforts to achieve its sustainability goals, WFI Plant 1 engineered a Compressed Air Optimization Project, including a portfolio of supply-side and demand-side actions to improve the overall system’s efficiency. The project allowed efficiency gains of 13.5% and the reduction of 1,200 tons of CO2, 18,000 MMBTU, and 13 million gallons of water.
This project was recognized by the US DOE as one of the Best Energy Projects in 2022
