Flashback Friday: 5 German immigrants formed a foundry in 1905, naming it Atlantic Foundry after the ocean they crossed. Charles Reymann spoke the best English and became CEO. It became Akron's largest foundry. Site is now being redeveloped. beaconjournal.com/story/news/202…


The @AmerFoundrySoc commends Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on his decades of service to the nation as he announces his intention to step down from the Leader post in November. His commitment to public service and a strong #economy are exemplary.


Highly engineered castings are vital to modern life.
