Three Grede manufacturing plants have been named finalists for the Wisconsin Corporate Safety Awards. The factories are in Menomonee Falls, Oconomowoc and Reedsburg. The Wisconsin Corporate Safety Awards program honors businesses for exemplary safety records and excellence in safety and health management. The awards program is co-sponsored by the Wisconsin Safety Council and the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development.

“We are very pleased to have been named a finalist for this prestigious award,” says Doug Grimm, Chairman, President and CEO. “Safety is our top priority and our environmental, health and safety policies are industry-leading. Grede’s actual results are significantly better than the national average and we are proud to be recognized by the State of Wisconsin.” 

Grede was selected as a finalist after a review of statistical data related to the company’s incidence rates for the past three years, with an emphasis on the current full year’s calendar data.

Grede facilities have been consistently recognized for their safety practices, including prestigious Gold, Silver and Safety Commendation awards from the Liberty Mutual Group and the American Foundry Society’s Safety Awards. Grede has also been nominated for Wisconsin Manufacturer of the Year. The company has invested more than $10 million in recent years on specific environmental, safety and health improvements to its factories and will continue to significantly invest in employee safety.
