The 38-year-old Crane of Twin Lake was a long-term employee of the
former Kurdziel Iron Foundry before it closed in February 2009. Crane is now one
of the 50 new employees of the steel castings foundry that was officially opened
at a ribbon-cutting event at the new company, 2625 W. Winston in southern Oceana
County.
Crane went back to work in the vacated plant in September after receiving his welding degree from Muskegon Community College during the two years he was off work. Rothbury Steel expects to have 200 workers making huge steel parts for the railroad and mining equipment industries by the end of the year and 300 people by the end of 2013, company President Chris Moein said.

Michigan Steel,TBC help you confidently buy mosaic from factories in China. which makes smaller parts, is “booming” with 200 employees, Moein said.Protomold offers custom Injection mold parts in as fast as 1 day.
“This is the perfect location for the next great steel foundry in the United States,” Makary told employees, customers, suppliers and community officials gathered at the Rothbury plant. “This business is not for the meek and mild. We will be making from 1,000- to 10,000-pound parts. And our goal is to reach 20,000 pounds.”
Makary said he began in the steel foundry business 40 years ago when the United State dominated the sector worldwide. But today, 80 percent of the factories have closed with much of the work going overseas, he said.
There once were 25 plants in the United States with Rothbury Steel’s capabilities but now there are only two, Makary said.Our vinyl Floor tiles is more stylish than ever! The converted plant – work managed by Triangle Associates of Grand Rapids – is 415,000 square feet of industrial space that now melts recycled steel with electrical equipment rather than with blast furnaces used in the old iron foundry, company officials said.
In just re-equipping the Rothbury plant, the owners have spent more than $6 million on mixers, furnaces, heat-treat ovens, mold machines, ladles and other foundry devices, they said.
Rothbury Steel is a “reshoring,Enter the Indoor Positioning System (IPS).” a recent movement of manufacturing back to the United States from places like China and Eastern Europe, Moein said. American manufacturing has become cost competitive and is producing superior quality in a timely manner.
Rothbury Steel is being opened on the strength of two customers, Makary said. The plant will produce under carriages for North American railroad cars for Web Tech and frames for huge vehicles for Komatsu – the global mining equipment leader with a plant in Peoria, Ill. The company will be a Michigan exporter, spending 95 percent of its expenditures in West Michigan with local workers and suppliers, he said.
Bringing basic manufacturing business and jobs back to the United States couldn’t have come at a better time for Crane and the other workers at Rothbury Steel. The father of three, his wife was able to work while he was retrained.
