In honor of National Manufacturing Month, celebrated every year in October, the City of Morgan Hill Economic Development Team took (42) high school students on in-person tours at two local manufacturing facilities.
The first tour was hosted by SunBasket, a food prep and delivery company that prepares millions of meals per week for hungry customers around the West Coast. Students were amazed by the intricacies of the food preparation and preservation process, and the chilly 33 degree temperature of the refrigerated spaces.
The second tour was hosted by Creative Manufacturing Solutions (CMS), a privately owned sheet metal company specializing in CNC punching, laser cutting, forming, welding, and in-house powder coating. CMS was a familiar location for a handful of students who were partaking in their second tour of the facility and also for two students who were already enrolled in the company’s internship program. Questions about the machines and punching process poured from first-time students driven by an interest in machining and the trades.
The day was rounded out with an afternoon pizza party, and because it was organized during tradition school hours, a quiz with some good natured competition between Live Oak and Sobrato Students.
