In recognition of the importance of association activity to growing the worldwide market for magnesium die castings, Chicago White Metal Casting has been a 22-year company member of the International Magnesium Association. CWM CEO Walter Treiber has made a continuing personal commitment to the work of this association in various capacities.
Walter has served two separate spans as IMA president: the first an unprecedented three consecutive terms from 1990 to 1993 and the last a two-term stint from 2005 to 2007, after which he is retiring his IMA presidential gavel. He continues as a member of the IMA Executive Committee and the Board of Directors.
Special “Mag Promotion Award.” CWM was the only member company to receive a special IMA award for “Promoting Magnesium Die Casting” and has received many “Magnesium Die Casting Design Excellence Awards.” Chicago White Metal and Oskar Frech GmbH & Co. partnered to develop the world’s largest capacity hot-chamber Mg die casting machine, which won the IMA’s “Process Award of Excellence” in 1989.
