For their support of manufacturing training, two companies have earned the spring 2008 Partners in Excellence Award from the Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC ) Foundation. They are New York-based Hardinge Group, specializing in turning, milling, grinding and workholding solutions; and Chicago-based machine tool distributor Iverson & Company.
Both companies provided equipment for the new Center for Energy Conservation and Advanced Manufacturing (ECAM) at the Oak Creek Campus.
Accepting for The Hardinge Group was Jim Langa, vice president of operations. "We are proud to be a part of such an innovative facility," Langa says. "ECAM is a training model that can be used by our entire industry. Also, it's been a pleasure to work with MATC . We have especially appreciated the college's flexibility."
Iverson & Company CEO Terry Iverson says he was impressed by MATC 's commitment to innovation in general. "I'm not sure you realize how far ahead you are of other colleges," he says. "Innovation requires real commitment. I'm very impressed by the commitment I see across the board at MATC ."
The awards were given May 13 at the Foundation's semi-annual scholarship banquet. hardinge.com, iversonandco.com
