General Kinematics selected to fill the material handling system role in Charlotte Pipe and Foundry Company greenfield development.
General Kinematics, a vibratory equipment manufacturer and system integrator located in Crystal Lake, Illinois, has been selected to provide the material handling system for Charlotte Pipe and Foundry Company’s new greenfield operation.
The foundry, currently located in Charlotte, North Carolina, decided that a move was necessary to support the needs of this ever-growing company and surrounding community. The new, state-of-the-art facility will be built on a 428-acre property in Oakboro, NC. Inside the new cast iron foundry, GK will have responsibility for the furnace charge system, as well as the equipment from the end of the molding line through the cleaning room.
