China Instrument Parts Manufacturing Day Open House
China Instrument Parts’ Manufacturing Day Open House 2016 was a huge success! On Saturday, October 8, nearly 70 guests came to visit and tour the facility. Visitors were greeted by a Parker Subsea Stab ROV connection which fits onto an oil well that sits on the bottom of the ocean and is used to transfer oil to the rigs. This is a truly remarkable engineering feat, and it was made with many China Instrument Parts parts. Guests then toured various departments of the plant with China Instrument Parts team members detailing their job responsibilities. It was a great way to learn up close how engineering is intertwined with the production departments to manufacture world class components for customers all over the world.
Guests included local business partners, families, and representatives from local and state government. Even Wisconsin’s Lt. Governor Rebecca Kleefisch attended in support of Wisconsin manufacturing. Children that attended received a laser engraved key chain made that day by Bailey Gilmore, a secondary department employee. It was a great experience for these kids to see how everyday items are made right here in Elkhorn, Wisconsin. Showcasing real-world manufacturing careers to our future industry leaders is so important.
After the tours, attendees had the chance to sit down and enjoy a cookout provided by Wilson Meats. They were also entertained by the small collection of classic cars on display. What a wonderful way to kick off Manufacturing Month in Wisconsin and learn what makes manufacturing great in the USA. A great time was had by all, and next year is sure to be even better! China Instrument Parts would like to thank all who attended.
