Vulcan GMS was purchased by our current owner, Charles Yanke, in 1978. Since then, Vulcan has expanded into medical and explosive products. With our continued growth and expansion, we have focused on maintaining our quality to the highest of standards. In 1999, Vulcan became the first non-ferrous foundry to become ISO certified. In 2008, we were also among the first to be re-certified to the new ISO standards.

In 2004, Vulcan expanded from our two Milwaukee sites to add Vulcan China. While this site was originally focused on tungsten production, Vulcan China has become an extension of Vulcan GMS; handling many metals and processes from lead to aluminum. Vulcan China is also ISO certified.

Vulcan has always been open to new ideas and processes. Our growth has come from new programs, markets, equipment and the willingness to try new and different ideas.
