RAYMOND HIGHLIGHTS INNOVATION, VIRTUAL SIMULATION DURING NATIONAL MANUFACTURING DAY CELEBRATION

View original at www.mhi.org

GREENE, N.Y., October 7, 2016 —The Raymond Corporation hosted Innovation in Manufacturing, an event celebrating National Manufacturing Day, at its headquarters in Greene, New York. More than 250 students from Southern Tier of New York state high schools, grades 10 to 12, attended the Oct. 6 event.

Other stations allowed students to virtually experience welding or driving a forklift through simulators. Speakers Rick Harrington, senior vice president of operations at Raymond, and Erric Heitmann, vice president of engineering at Raymond, as well as a tour of the manufacturing floor, provided insights to the future of manufacturing and engineering. “Celebrating and showcasing the manufacturing industry shouldn’t be restricted to a specific day or month. Manufacturing, and its continual innovation, drives our business as well as our customers’ businesses,” says Harrington. “Because of its significance and continuous growth, manufacturing should be shared with our future workforce year round, educating them on and preparing them for the jobs of the future. That’s what we try to do at Raymond.” Response to Raymond’s National Manufacturing Day […]
