Long-time Innovator, David Weiss, Retires

David Weiss is retiring from Eck Industries, a company he joined in 1986. David has held a number of positions from Vice President of Engineering to VP Sales, and most recently VP R&D. He led many innovations in casting techniques and alloy development, along with the constant pursuit of bringing more value to our customers. He will consult for the company and continue to work on alloy development with the National Laboratory system, trade associations, and universities.

David has been awarded multiple patents and has received many awards including the American Foundry Society John A. Penton Gold Medal for pioneering work in the premium aluminum casting industry.

David added, “I wish to thank the Eck family and the entire organization for the privilege of working for a world class foundry. They have supported me in every way possible, and I hope to bring them new ideas in the coming years.”

We thank him for the decades of commitment, and we wish him well in his future endeavors.
