Stiles recently unveiled a new program designed to raise up the next generation of leaders in the manufacturing industry.

During Stiles annual European Benchmarking Technology Tour, manufacturing professionals and leaders from across North America had the unique opportunity to experience behind-the-scenes tours of some of the most innovative, efficient, and productive manufacturing facilities in the world.

On Friday, October 5th, 2018, Stiles Machinery opened its doors to students from three local area high schools in celebration of Manufacturing Day, an annual nationwide event designed to inspire the next generation and offer them insights into what manufacturing looks like today and the many different career opportunities within the industry.

At Stiles, we believe that people excel when they are challenged, appreciated, and feel that their work is making a difference. That was definitely the case for Mike Hillis, Director of Customer Support Services at Stiles, who made the jump from a 21-year career in the Navy, to a successful career with Stiles Machinery in which he has had boundless opportunities to grow and succeed while helping others to do the same.

Stiles Machinery was proud to showcase a wide variety of state-of-the-art solutions for the woodworking industry at this year’s IWF in Atlanta, Georgia, August 22-25.
