Pferd hosts Manufacturing Day event

Pferd Inc., a Milwaukee-based manufacturer of brushes, abrasives, and power tools, hosted a Manufacturing DaySM event at its headquarters in early October.

Manufacturing Day is a nationwide celebration of modern manufacturing meant to inspire the next-generation workforce. As part of the day’s events, the company hosted a career fair with company representatives from the engineering, quality, manufacturing, and logistics departments who talked to the students and visitors not only about the manufacturing process, but about career opportunities within the industry.

In addition to the department presentations, John Thompson, national technical sales manager, did live demonstrations of product applications, including paint removal from metal. The day also included a plant tour that showed attendees how wire brushes are made.
