Innovation Built America. Manufacturing Wins the Future.
Manufacturing has always been part of America’s story. It built industries, communities, and infrastructure. It created opportunities and transformed ideas into products that changed the world.
But manufacturing doesn’t stand still.
It evolves through innovation, technology and – most importantly – the people who continually find better ways to make what comes next.
At HWI, A member of Calderys, that evolution is happening every day across our manufacturing footprint in the Americas.
To celebrate this year’s Manufacturing Day on October 2, we’re taking you on a journey across HWI’s manufacturing footprint, highlighting three facilities that each represent a different part of our story.
At Fulton Brick, generations of refractory manufacturing knowledge and expertise come to life. At Fulton Lightweight monolithics, modern technology, automation, and expanded production capabilities are shaping what’s possible. And in White Cloud, it’s the skilled people behind the processes and technology who turn innovation into products our customers can depend on.
Experience built the foundation. Innovation is shaping what’s next. And people will manufacture the future.
Three facilities. Three areas of expertise. One manufacturing mission. To innovate, manufacture, and deliver refractory solutions built for the world’s toughest environments.
We invite you to follow along the next few weeks as we celebrate Manufacturing Day 2026 on October 2 and explore the people, technology, and expertise behind HWI’s manufacturing footprint – and see how we’re helping shape the future of manufacturing in America.
