FORT WORTH, TEXAS, April 18, 2007 - Intermet Corporation, one of the world's leading manufacturers of cast-metal automotive components, this week reached a significant milestone for a metal-casting foundry, at its Archer Creek Plant located in Lynchburg, VA. Intermet's Archer Creek Foundry and its 430 employees have worked three consecutive months (January through March 2007) without a recordable injury.

Steve Lake, President of Intermet's Ferrous Group, attributes the achievement to total teamwork. "Everyone at the Archer Creek Plant takes ownership and has great pride in this achievement. It takes total teamwork from one end of the plant to the other, every employee, making safety an integral part of his or her job each day to reach this milestone."

Archer Creek Plant Human Resources Manager Walter Vrobel credits employee experience, training, first aid care and the plant safety initiative for accomplishing this milestone. "Our employees go through extensive safety training and our safety program stresses employee involvement and reporting of any potential hazardous conditions in the workplace. The USW Local Union 8270 is also directly involved with the safety process as they are a part of the plant's labor-management safety committee." To celebrate this accomplishment, Archer Creek Foundry employees will be treated to a catered dinner during all three shifts at the plant.
