In celebration of Manufacturing Day 2017, ATAS International, Inc. opened their doors on October 5 to 60 area students and adults. This was the fifth year that ATAS participated in this event. Schools and organizations that were represented included: Lehigh Carbon Community College, Lehigh Career and Technical Institute, Lehigh Valley Economic Development, and Parkland High School.
Students toured the ATAS facility to experience first-hand the processes in which metal components for the building envelope are manufactured. They also viewed a panel discussion consisting of several ATAS employees, who spoke about their positions in departments that include production, inside technical sales, technical services, clerical, information technology, and human resources. Students learned that every person within a manufacturing company must work together to produce a quality product and provide exemplary service to their customers. They were also able to visit inside Lehigh Carbon Community College Industrial Automation Program’s mobile manufacturing laboratory, which is parked in front of ATAS’ headquarters.
