its Heated Refractory System is another recent innovation, designed to improve casting reliability, metal quality and energy efficiency.
Wagstaff continues to invest in its manufacturing capabilities, including new large scale machining centers and a new 18,000-square-foot boxing and shipping facility with a 2400-square-foot truck port for improved traffic flow. The facility is scheduled to be ready for operation in Q1 2026.
Looking to the future, Steve shares that the remainder of this year is focused on delivering several large-scale international projects, continuing investments in manufacturing technology, and preparing for the 80th anniversary in 2026.
“ Early next year,” he adds,“ we expect to launch new product enhancements aimed at improving operational efficiency and sustainability for our customers. It’ s a busy and exciting time for us. In five years, I envision Wagstaff continuing to lead the aluminum industry in both technology and service, with an even stronger global presence. We’ ll be building on our expertise in sustainable manufacturing, expanding our capabilities in hard alloy casting, and developing new technologies that make aluminum production safer, cleaner, and more efficient. Most importantly, we’ ll still be doing what we’ ve done for 80 years; building trusted partnerships with our customers and delivering equipment they can count on.
“ Our success is built by people: our employees, our customers, and our community,” Steve concludes.“ Every innovation we develop, every piece of equipment we ship, and every anniversary we celebrate is the result of teamwork. As we look toward the future, that human element will remain at the center of everything we do.” ■
