Al Hunter first had the idea for a new type of automated green sand molding machine in 1963. He founded our company the following year. His machines evolved the foundry industry during the last 60 years with many refinements and technological improvements.

And, while common wisdom suggests that “Pioneers get the arrows, settlers get the land,” Al Hunter revolutionized an industry by pioneering the adaptation of automated machinery that changed the foundry world. Those who knew him will tell you: Al never “settled” for anything less than design integrity and simplicity. Hunter employees have carried his worthy legacy and tradition from one generation to the next, at all levels throughout the company.
