Keeping the EDM and Holiday Lights Burning
With Christmas right around the corner, some holiday spirit found at Industrial Molds Group inspired this blog.
With Christmas right around the corner, some holiday spirit found while touring the plant of Industrial Molds Group in Rockford, Illinois, inspired this fun blog.
I drove out to Industrial Molds to meet with Wes Stephens, account manager, and Jeff Noud, automation manager, to tour the company’s plant and gather intel for a feature I’m writing about automation for MMT’s March 2017 issue. I learned so much on the tour and took several photographs, including those in this mini slideshow that express, to the extent possible, the holiday spirit some of the employees display at work.
As Chris, an EDM machine operator aptly pointed out, the guys spend a lot of hours in the shop every day, so they may as well make it festive during the holidays, right?
Enjoy, and if your shop has the holiday spirit don’t hesitate to email a photo to me!
Merry Christmas, everyone, and here’s to a wonderful, healthy and prosperous 2017.
