Hundreds of thousands of servicemen were exposed to asbestos over decades, especially during the period from 1940 to 1980.  Asbestos was used in construction of naval vessels as well as shore facilities.  All branches of the military used asbestos, which was also widely used in civilian applications.  Asbestos can cause mesothelioma.  Because this cancer has a particularly long latency period, many servicemen who were exposed years ago are now developing this disease.

West Irving Die Casting Company Now Hiring War VeteransWest Irving Die Casting Company Now Hiring War Veterans

West Irving Die Casting Company Joins HireVeterans.com in Order to Employ War Veterans

By Morgan Barker and John Allen 

West Irving Die Casting Company has a reputation as a company with common sense and their partnership with HireVeterans.com drives that fact home. They are currently seeking and want to hire America's best and brightest men and women. It is commonly known that most of America's manufacturing has been outsourced to other countries. In fact, 2.7 million jobs have vanished since 2001. WIDC is keeping jobs at home, while supporting war veterans by encouraging and welcoming them to all apply for jobs with them.  

West Irving Die Casting Company manufactures aluminum and zinc die casting products. One of the company's primary customers is the automotive industry. They are a Die Casting Company with locations in the Ohio River Valley, including Owensboro Kentucky, Evansville, Indiana, and Toledo, Ohio. Headquartered in Sandwich Illinois, West Irving Die's two plants (in Sandwich, Illinois, and Owensboro, Kentucky) have a total of approximately 250,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing space. The Kentucky plant is fully automated and focuses on making castings for car and truck makers. Both production facilities specialize in aluminum die casting, machining, and assembly...
