I ran across this topic while looking for something else. I started at Henry Vogt in the mid 80's and even though I work for a different company, I have been parking in the same place as they say for going on 30 yrs. The company I work for bought what was once the Forge & Die Division of HVMC. We are still making forgings today, some of the original valve bodies that we forged back in the day. The hammers and blast furnaces are gone now, replaced by mechanical presses and electric induction billet heaters. I really enjoyed reading all of the posts and I am fascinated in the history of the company that I have been working for or at for half of my life. I enjoy finding articles, artifacts, and especially pictures of the plant and workers.
