Godfrey & Wing, which manufactures and supplies equipment, sealants, and services to seal porous materials, has expanded vacuum impregnation production capacity at its North American service centers. The focus of this growth is to help manufacturers ensure part performance and build their business profitability in 2023 and the future.

The expansion results from applying Godfrey & Wing's Production System (GPS) to improve efficiencies and eliminate waste. Production capacity has increased by more than 30% and lowered operating expenses.

The company said it is able to provide new and proven vacuum impregnation solutions for components ranging from die castings to electronics to graphite and EV batteries––which in turn enables them to serve manufacturers that are introducing new materials and product designs requiring vacuum impregnation.

"Our expansion is vital to solving manufacturers' porosity sealing challenges, said Alexander Alford, CEO of Godfrey & Wing. "This allows the best manufacturers worldwide to trust Godfrey & Wing to meet their requirements and the integrity of their bottom line."

Godfrey & Wing's service centers are in Aurora, Toledo, and Defiance, Ohio; Saginaw, Michigan; Milwaukee; and Santa Catarina, Mexico–– all geographically positioned to serve the heart of the North American manufacturing industry.
