Family-owned and managed since 1920 (through four generations), the company has supported community programs and events, giving of their time and money to help build a stronger community.

They have lead by example, and in August 2007 hit a milestone when employees worked 365 consecutive days without a lost or restricted workday accident. The company produces custom gray and ductile iron castings for specialty equipment manufacturers throughout the United States. For their continuing support of the Xenia community, the safety and well-being of their employees and dedication to working toward a stronger workforce for tomorrow, the Xenia Area Chamber of Commerce is very proud to present the 2007 Dodds Monument Industrial Award to Xenia Foundry and Machine Co., represented by Bob Huston, 3rd generation owner, and past president.
