Andy Bomberger with METAL and Bomberger Industry Graphics
We keep saying “manufacturing is dying”—then I walk into a place like Penn State’s METAL program in Erie and watch 18-year-olds safely pouring molten steel and calculating real production costs like business owners.
That’s not a dying industry. That’s a talent pipeline we’ve been ignoring.
In my conversation with Andy Bomberger, 29-year foundry veteran turned casting design consultant, one thing was crystal clear:
Foundries are more technical, data-driven, and materials-savvy than most people realize.
The work is hands-on, high-consequence, and deeply satisfying.
And when you bring young people into that environment, they don’t know the “rules” yet—so they try things the industry says can’t be done… and often make it work.
