Miller Fabrication opens for tour; job fair

From staff reports

Contract steel fabricator Miller Fabrication Solutions will open its doors to the public Friday, Oct. 7 in celebration of Manufacturing Day.

The annual, nationwide event aims to inspire the next generation to start careers in modern manufacturing.

Miller will host free tours at each of its three facilities for educators, students, customers, vendors and community members. A job fair, held throughout the day at each location, will highlight available career, apprenticeship and training opportunities with Miller.

Tour participants will see the latest technologies in robotics, CNC (computer numerical control) machinery and other equipment while learning about best-in-class lean processes, safe behaviors in the plant and what goes into fabricating high-quality parts for some of the biggest equipment manufacturing brands in the world.

“Participating in MFG Day is deeply important to Miller Fabrication Solutions,” said Eric Miller, the company’s president.

“Deloitte’s 2022 Manufacturing Outlook shows an anticipated shortfall of 2.1 million skilled manufacturing jobs by 2030. Unfilled jobs could limit the industry’s productivity and growth. By taking part in events like MFG Day, Miller is working to build the foundation for the regional manufacturing workforce of the future,” Miller said.

Miller’s MFG Day tours will run every 30 minutes from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at these locations:

– Miller Fabrication Solutions (Sandy Lick) at 111 Second Street, Brookville;

– Miller Fabrication Solutions (Maplevale) at 225 Miller Drive, Brookville;

– Miller Fabrication Solutions (Homer City) at 57 Cooper Ave., Homer City
