October 7th is Manufacturing Day - Let's Celebrate Our Industry

For those of us who work in manufacturing, we already know how much the industry has changed from what was ‘traditional’ factory work. But, it’s often hard to convey those changes, and dispel many myths, about today’s manufacturing operations. With the introduction of an official celebration 5 years ago, Manufacturing Day (MFG Day) continues to bring manufacturing into the spotlight and educate communities about the industry.

Is your workplace safe? More specifically, since we specialize in providing quality engineered below-the-hook lifting devices for all industries at Hunter Lift, we need to ask this question: Are you properly considering and following safety measures before lifting?

Getting Today's Students Interested in Manufacturing and Engineering Careers

Today’s students represent the future – the next generation of workers – for all manufacturing industries. Back in June, we talked about Why STEM Education and Careers Matter.
