MEP at Columbus State

Core Molding Technologies is committed to providing their employees with the tools and resources they need to succeed and grow. This week they kicked off another phase of Workforce Training: Basic English. We are very excited about this project and can't wait to see the progress the Core Molding team will make!

MEP Project Manager Maria Santiago and MEP Technical Instructor Michelle Böhm joined MEP Senior Director Jeff Spain and Voyant Beauty Plant Manager Jason Leach in celebrating seven members of the Voyant Beauty team who successfully completed Electrical Certificate 1 training on April 1, 2024. The training covered topics including AC/DC Electrical Systems, Electric Motor Control, and Variable Frequency AC Drives.

The Ohio MEP at CSCC is proud of our ongoing partnership with UMD Automated Systems and we were on site for the groundbreaking for the company’s new 29,000 sqft expansion project. The new expansion will house additional space for the machine shop, assembly and warehousing as well as the electrical panel department. A new roller department is being launched and will be housed in the new space and will add 15-20 new employees to the company. Added to the existing 78,000 sqft the Fredericktown based company will grow to over 100,000 sqft with more expansion being discussed.

As a manufacturer, have you ever found yourself not pursuing potentially large customers because you are concerned about your ability to fulfill a high-volume order? Do you have potential customers you think are too large to support? How would you approach the sales and growth of your business if you knew that you had the flexibility and scalability to deliver any size order that you can win? Perhaps you are just a few steps away from unleashing your production ability and, therefore your business’ growth.

Join the Columbus Regional Logistics Council, representatives from Amatrol, MSSC, ClearView Management Resources, and the MEP at Columbus State for a conversation about new technologies to make your facility a place of innovation.
