AUSTRALIAN MINING SPOKE TO WHITE INDUSTRIES' NEW BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER GEOFF LEE ABOUT THE COMPANY'S RISING PROFILE.

- 

Geoff Lee is no stranger to foundries. “I originally started my career in the design office of a large foundry group before moving into sales and marketing roles with them for several years,” Lee told Australian Mining. “I have great passion for all the efforts and stringent controls that go into each process in casting metal products.”

Having worked with Tier 1 original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and monitored product performance improvements on mine sites, Lee has witnessed firsthand the impact of downtime caused by product delays and poor imported quality.

Now, he has joined White Industries as its new business development manager (BDM). As a well-known ISO-quality-endorsed supplier, White Industries manufactures and delivers cost-effective ferrous and nonferrous castings through its facilities in Dalby and Ipswich, Queensland.

The castings are available in materials such as stainless steel, manganese steel, low-alloy steel, ductile iron, grey cast iron, phosphor copper nickel, gunmetal and aluminium.

The Dalby facility, the largest privately-owned foundry in Queensland, can lip pour and bottom pour up to 6.5 tonnes (t). It also contains several induction furnaces: 1x3t, 2x2t, 1x750kg and 1x40kg.
