Norgren Plant Tour

Our May meeting was a great success with 21 members and guests participating. We enjoyed a great presentation about Norgren, USA and a tour of the manufacturing facility by Doug Kirk, Director of Manufacturing at Norgren. Many thanks to Doug and his team for their hospitality. We also thank Brian Lord, owner of Express Employment Professionals for helping us set up the event at short notice.

Our next event will be a SME student seminar “ Reverse Engineering Techniques using Rapid Prototyping” on Thursday, July 19, from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Watch this site for more information as we get closer to that event.
