ASM International (Russell Township, OH) presented Weld Mold Company (Brighton, MI) the prestigious ASM Historical Landmark Award for 2017 for developing and innovating the flood welding process for weld die repair. Attending the event were ASM International dignitaries, distinguished representatives from the city of Brighton and the state of Michigan, members of the press, Weld Mold officials and employees, and other invited guests. The late Matt Kiilunen, who founded Weld Mold in 1945, was personally responsible for innovating the process, which took die repair to the next level in increasing die life while reducing customer costs.
From the Iron Bridge to the Statue of Liberty to the Eifel Tower in Paris, the ASM Historical Landmarks Designation recognizes sites and events that have played a prominent role in the discovery, development and growth of metals, metalworking and all engineered metals. Familiar recipients have included AT&T, Republic Steel and General Motors.
