Coe Press Equipment hosts Utica High School students on Manufacturing Day

Sterling Heights, Mich.-based Coe Press Equipment, a manufacturer of coil handling and servo roll feed equipment, hosted about 30 students from Utica High School on Manufacturing DaySM, Oct. 5, providing an overview of the variety of careers available in manufacturing and a tour of the various departments.

The students were split into groups that rotated through informative sessions from various departments such as engineering, R&D, sales, machining, and assembly. In assembly, they were given a hands-on project to build a roll feed by referencing a supplied bill of materials and blueprint.

“It’s really important to us that we get these young people enthused about manufacturing as a career,” said Hunter Coe, CEO. “We hope that providing them a hands-on experience and helping them understand that everything they use each day is part of this industry will positively impact their view of manufacturing.”
