For the fourth year in a row NADCA held it Government Affairs Conference in conjunction with the 2015 Manufacturing Summit of the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM). Over 400 manufacturers descended on Washington this year with a very basic message: the clock is ticking on American exceptionalism. Our global economic leadership is not guaranteed.
This past weekend Premier completed another in-house Die Cast Operator Course designed by the North American Die Casting Association.
There were 14 die cast operators, inspection department personnel, and maintenance personnel in the course for one day which included primarily classroom training.
