Tool Products is an aluminum die-casting company with plants in New Hope, Minnesota and Jackson, Tennessee. VEGU, located north of Berlin near Poland's border, serves a broad European customer base. The year 1999 brought more changes to the company beginning with the addition of significant ductile iron and aluminum capacity at a number of plants and the announcement in November of the acquisition of die-casting companies, Ganton Technologies and Diversified Diemakers. This acquisition bolstered Intermet's aluminum capabilities and introduced magnesium to its material and process repertoire. People At Intermet we believe that the most valuable resource we have is our people.
Advanced technology means little without the skilled technicians to manage it.
We are as confident in the quality of our workforce as we are in the quality of our products. Some of our employees have been with us for nearly half a century, developing the kind of priceless experience that only comes from years on the job. The strong and stable relationship we enjoy with our workforce is Intermet's true strength. We have very successful working relationships with a number of well-regarded technical services firms that specialize in advanced design and engineering. We believe that approach is what differentiates us from the rest of the foundry industry.
