Williamson, Inc. Economic Development, Columbia State Community College, Williamson County Schools and several Williamson County manufacturers, including APCOM, Flash Technology, Horn USA, and Resource Label Group, are joining forces on Friday, Oct. 14 to celebrate National Manufacturing Day as part of a national coordinated effort to change the public’s perception about today’s manufacturing environment and draw attention to the opportunities that a career in manufacturing can provide.
Williamson, Inc. Economic Development is coordinating all-day facility tours at four participating companies, APCOM, Flash Technology, Horn USA and Columbia State for students from Page High School, Independence High School, Summit High School and Fairview High School, where a new Mechatronics program launched last year. Students will observe demos and simulations, operate state-of-the-art robotics equipment and receive giveaways. Tours begin at 9:30 a.m. and will last an hour. Students, parents, educators, public officials, the business community and the media are invited to attend and connect on social media with the official hashtag #MFGDAY16.
Manufacturing Day is an annual event that occurs on the first Friday in October during which North American manufacturers open their doors to showcase what they do with their communities.
