L.S. Starrett to host Manufacturing Day Oct. 12

The L.S. Starrett Co. will open its doors again this year to welcome students, schools, state representatives, and the community to participate in its Manufacturing Day, Friday, Oct. 12, 2018, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Starrett Corporate Headquarters, 121 Crescent Street, Athol, MA 01331.

October is recognized as Manufacturing Month, and thousands of manufacturers across North America participate in Manufacturing Day to educate millions about modern manufacturing and generate interest in the manufacturing trades to build a stronger, skilled workforce.

Starrett will be giving guided tours at its facility in Athol. Attendees will learn how a Starrett punch is manufactured from start to finish, and contests will be held during each tour. Tours will begin with showing a "How It's Made" video. There will also be several fascinating precision measurement demonstrations and manufacturing technology discussions designed to educate and inspire. Popcorn will be served at the end of each tour.

Registration is requested by Wednesday, Oct. 10, 2018. Please contact Starrett by phone at (978) 249-3551 or by email: jshaughnessy@starrett.com or click on the MFGday banner on the homepage at www.starrett.com or go to Mfgday.com.
