Wisconsin Aluminum Foundry has acquired Anderson Global, a North American aluminum foundry tooling manufacturer, based in Muskegon, Michigan.

“We are thrilled to welcome Anderson Global to the WAF family,” said WAF CEO Sachin Shivaram. “John and Betsy McIntyre have built a world-class business that stands as the gold standard for tooling in our industry. This acquisition not only strengthens our internal capabilities, but also ensures Anderson Global will continue to support foundries across North America as an independent and trusted partner. We look forward to investing in the people, technology, and equipment that will enable Anderson Global to thrive for decades to come.”

Founded more than 40 years ago by John and Betsy McIntyre, Anderson Global has more than 50 journeymen machinists, a deep bench of world-class engineering talent, and advanced machining assets to produce complex and high-precision tooling.

“As we looked to the future of Anderson Global, it was important to us to find a partner that understands our industry and shares our values,” said John and Betsy McIntyre, co-owners of Anderson Global. “Given our long-standing partnership with WAF, they were the natural choice. We are excited to see Anderson Global continue to grow and serve all of its customers with the added support and resources WAF brings.”
