Plastic injection molding company supports future industry growth through fundamental teaching opportunity

Hudson, NH -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/04/2014 -- Johnson Precision, a global manufacturer of thermoplastic injection molded components and assemblies to the medical device marketplace, is pleased to welcome Michael J. Small to its industry leading team. Small, a precision machining student at Nashua Technology Center, will assume an internship position through the end of the 2014 regular school year.

As an intern at Johnson Precision, Small will learn and observe the fundamentals of toolmaking, as well as the construction and repair of injection molding dies. All of his hands-on experience and training will parallel Johnson Precision's focus on quality in geometric dimensioning and tolerances, paving the way for future leadership within the injection molding industry.

"The toolmaking industry has been slowly aging and disappearing over the last 10 to 15 years, as a result of off-shoring," said Michelle Mountain, Director of Human Resources at Johnson Precision. "The technical skills required are still being taught in a few schools, such as the Nashua Technology Center, specifically in their Precision Machining Program, and we were fortunate enough to be able to build a strong partnership through this internship program."

Small's role as an intern will allow Johnson Precision the opportunity to teach and potentially employ a skilled laborer, who will help to prepare for the re-shoring of tools from Asia back to the United States. In learning appropriate toolmaking skills, with an emphasis on superior quality and precision, Small will gain firsthand experience in an industry that requires accuracy and excellence throughout its processes.

"When a student is in a business setting, they see the value of hard work and that the type of work that they do is important within the bigger picture of a Company's mission. Students have the opportunity to develop and practice "soft skills" in an authentic way," said Marianne Dustin, Director of Career and Technical Education at Nashua Technology Center. "When a company like Johnson Precision opens its doors to these students, the industry/school partnership helps the students to develop and grow exponentially. We are grateful to Johnson Precision for working with our students."

Hudson, NH -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/11/2014 -- Johnson Precision, a global manufacturer of thermoplastic injection molded components and assemblies to the medical device marketplace, has announced its acquisition of three new, state-of-the-art Arburg injection molding machines.

Replacing its existing injection molding equipment, Johnson Precision's new Arburg models serve to highlight the company's continued drive toward manufacturing excellence, in both its products and its practices.

Each Arburg injection molding machine features innovative touch screen controls and advanced calibration options, while the 28-ton machine will give Johnson Precision the capability to mold components on a micro-scale.

"Now, we're looking at reduced setup times and a stricter approach to process control, which will serve to help us continue our industry leadership through the products and services that we offer," said Stein.

Stein, a graduate of the University of Massachusetts-Lowell and veteran in the injection molding industry, will guide Johnson Precision in the implementation and use of its new Arburg injection molding machines. His experience regarding scientific molding practices and prior employment with industry competitors will facilitate the integration of this new technology into the company's leading business model.
