Denso to open facility to students on Manufacturing Day, Oct. 7

Denso has announced it will open its doors to high school and college students on Manufacturing Day℠, Oct. 7, in an effort to dispel manufacturing myths and encourage students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).

In addition to on-site tours, the company is hosting hands-on events at high schools and colleges in many of the communities in which it operates to spread the word that manufacturing is clean, green, innovative, and creative. Events range from interactive activities to tours of the manufacturing facilities and presentations on high-tech manufacturing careers.

Denso, which has 25 manufacturing locations across North America, is an automotive supplier of advanced technology, systems, and components in the areas of thermal, powertrain control, electronics, information, and safety.

Manufacturing Day is a celebration of modern manufacturing meant to inspire the next generation of manufacturers. It addresses common misperceptions about manufacturing by giving manufacturers an opportunity to open their doors and show, in a coordinated effort, what manufacturing is—and what it isn't. Manufacturers hope to address the skilled labor shortage and connect with future generations who will be key to the future of the industry.
