Pouring Into the Next Generation
The future of American manufacturing will not build itself.
The knowledge required to produce great castings has been passed from one generation of foundrymen and women to the next. Anderson Foundries believes we have a responsibility to keep that knowledge — and the opportunities it creates — alive.
That is why we proudly support Iron Warrior Academy, a nonprofit organization founded in 2019 by our CEO, Kory Anderson. The Academy provides hands-on training, mentorship and real-world experiences designed to prepare the next generation of foundry professionals and skilled-trade leaders.
When you partner with Anderson Foundries, you help us continue investing in the people who will carry American manufacturing forward.

Mentorship in Action
The Next Generation at Work
Iron Warrior Academy didn't just teach me how to pour metal — it showed me what a career in manufacturing actually looks like. I came in not knowing anything about foundry work. I left with real skills, real mentors, and a job offer.
