Shelmet Precision Casting Company, Inc. was established on July 1, 1960, and has remained under the ownership of the Oliver, Mokwa, and Doubek families. Originally owned by Dan Oliver, Harold Mokwa, and Ralph Doubek, the company is now led by Gary Oliver, James Mokwa, and Ken Doubek. Shelmet is a precision investment foundry that utilizes the lost wax process, producing a wide range of castings using over 100 different alloys. Their high-quality products are shipped to customers worldwide.
Over the years, Shelmet has undergone several expansions and modernizations to meet growing demands. Since its establishment, there have been five additions to the original building in 1963, 1966, 1969 (offices), 1977, and 1998. In 1991, a separate building was constructed on the other side of the parking lot. Shelmet continues to invest in new equipment and cutting-edge technology to enhance their capabilities.
Being part of the Wild Rose community holds special significance for Shelmet. The company takes pride in providing jobs to multiple generations of local families. Their castings can be found in various places within the community, such as the playground equipment at Roberts Park and pump impellers for the Wild Rose Sewer District. Interacting with customers and hearing their fond memories of Wild Rose reinforces the sense of belonging to this unique and cherished place.
Shelmet Precision Casting Company is enthusiastic about the possibility of participating in the Wild Rose Parade, and Joe Klenke can be contacted at 920-622-3344 ext 229 for further inquiries.
