Greno Industries hosts 50 students from Mohonasen High School
Mohonasen High School students during a presentation on the 50 year history of Greno Indutries
On Thursday March 10th, Greno Industries hosted 50 students from Mohonasen High School. The ninth grade Technology class consisted of two groups of students accompanied by the Asst. Superintendent of Mohonasen and Gerald Garing the Career Technology Counselor.
In the attached photos we are greeting the students and giving them the 50 year history of Greno with a PowerPoint presentation. Following the presentation the students toured the Greno MFG facility to see how the company operates on a daily basis. The students were separated into 2 groups which were lead by Joe Michonski, General Manger of Mfg and Mark Vecchio, Manager of Estimating. The students were very well mannered and interested in how the components were being made. They enjoyed being able to see the machines running and utilizing the live tooling as well as hearing our operators explain the process and skill needed to manufacture the parts. There was much fascination with the before and after; from raw material to finished part. We hope that we were impressive enough to help encourage some into considering a career of manufacturing.
Mohonasen High School Students
Greno has partnered with Mohonasen for school year 2010-2011 with an in house Intern/Apprentice Program. A senior is selected by a Mohonasen counselor who is interested in pursuing a career in manufacturing/engineering. The selected student will work a minimum of 10 hours per week working within the structure of his/her daily school schedule. During this period the student will have an opportunity to observe and work in each of our departments including Quality Control, Shop Floor, Production, and Warehouse Shipping & Receiving. This gives the student a clear idea of the process flow in manufacturing daily activities. After the student works a total of 105 hours he/she will become a paid apprentice. Once the student reaches the age of 18 he/she will be able to participate in hands-on training and operation of selected machining equipment in our shop. This hands-on opportunity and closeness with the daily operations of our manufacturing facility will add invaluable assets to the students training in preparation for a career in the manufacturing industry. Our first participant is Kyle who will turn 18 in a month and he will begin his hands-on training to setup, program, and operate one of our CNC machines.
Greno acquires new FARO portable measurement arm
In keeping up with our customer’s needs for close tolerance parts on large and small parts, Greno industries added to its arsenal of metrology tools the latest FARO portable measurement arm.
Latest advances in hardware and software have brought this technology to a level where it is now possible to measure large and small parts with amazing accuracy–within tenths of thousands. Thermal compensation and the use of graphite composites have both added to reliability of this device.
From our smallest machining center to our largest VTL, Greno now has the flexibility to take real time data at the machine in order to guarantee a precise end product. This new addition complements our fully outfitted QC department.
Greno granted certification from the WBENC
In November 2010, Greno was awarded certification as a Women’s Business Enterprise by the Women Presidents’ Educational Organization – New York Certification Committee, on behalf of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC).
After a rigorous review process, Greno was selected based on our qualification as a company that is at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by one woman or a group of women. This is an exciting networking opportunity for Greno; with around 2500 women-owned businesses, membership with the WBENC offers opportunities to do business with other WBENC-certified WEBs.
Benefits of Certification
Certification from the WBENC allows Greno Industries to qualify for governmental contracts that, under affirmative action guidelines, encourage work with minority- and women-owned businesses. The certification allows access to and recognition by hundreds of federal, state, and local government agencies that accept WBENC certification. Many privately owned companies also consider women-owned businesses for contracts in an effort to foster diversity among vendors. The opportunities for new business that this recognition provides are vast.
