Job description

Founded in 1966, Badger Alloys has transformed from a classic sand foundry into a modern full-service casting manufacturing group that encompasses an airset foundry, dedicated pattern facility, complete machine shop, on-site engineers and state-of-the-art rapid response technologies.

Many family members, including those in the family's third generation, are also active in the company. We consider each and every employee part of the Badger Alloys family and an integral part of our success.
