MANUFACTURING
“What I like most about working in the manufacturing world is the sense of accomplishing goals and objectives — working on projects that matter. Change is always happening and the challenge keeps me progressive.”
- Pete, Production Engineering Manager | Johnson Outdoors Marine Electronics
Nearly everything we use is produced by the Manufacturing Industry.
From vitamins to medical devices, cars to lawnmowers, even the desks we sit in at school are all produced by a manufacturing team. The men and women working in Manufacturing make a wide range of products, devices, and components for all other industries.
