Participating businesses included Apache Stainless Equipment, Federal Mogul, Kirsh Foundry, John Deere Horicon Works, MEC, Breuer Metal Craftsmen, Contree Sprayer & Equipment, Signicast & RCI Engineering.
After students toured at least 2 manufacturers all schools met at John Deere Horicon Works for a lunch and presentations from manufacturing and government leaders.
