Chris Martinez starts the machine under Curt McPherson’s watchful eye at Manufacturing Day 2017

October 2017

Hi Tech Precision has once again opened its doors to local students as part of National Manufacturing Day, which includes presentations and tours of local, state-of-the-art CNC machine shops and offers students the opportunity to see modern, multi-axis CNC machine tools in operation.

Curt McPherson has been in the precision machining business for over forty years and hopes to inspire young people to take up the trade; he especially enjoys opening up the shop floor to students for Manufacturing Day. Curt says, “We are looking forward to partnering more and more with local teachers and schools to showcase the outstanding opportunities that a career in manufacturing can provide.”

Over the next decade, experts believe that nearly 3.4 million manufacturing jobs will need to be filled in the U.S. alone. However, due to a wide skills gap, 2 million of those positions may go unoccupied. Hi Tech Precision hopes to inspire young students by showcasing modern manufacturing for what it is – a sleek, technology-driven industry that offers secure good-paying jobs with a bright future.
