McWane Ductile

Challenge

McWane was looking to improve their internal communications. They were interested in showing images of their most recent piping projects as well as safety reminders to their employees. With a large workforce of 900+ employees and locations throughout the United States, McWane also sought to broadcast company announcements in a timely and effective manner.

Solution

We worked with McWane Ductile to create a working template that featured project photos, company announcements, safety alerts and more. We created branded signage for McWane that featured multiple regions of scrolling information. Most predominately, recent customer project photos are a scrolling feature in the main region. Internal safety reminders and Workforce Content are featured in another area of the signage, reminding workers of safety precautions within the facility. Date, Time, Weather, and an RSS news feed of world news keeps employee's up-to-date on current events and local weather conditions.

Results

McWane Ductile opened its foundry doors for business in Birmingham Alabama in 1921.
