Secat Conducts Training Course at Skana Aluminum

In March, Secat representatives traveled to Manitowic, Wisconsin to conduct a training course for Skana Aluminum. The one-day course, offered to all plant personnel, focused on the basic understanding of aluminum and its alloys. Participants gathered in the company’s training room and were introduced to aluminum’s characteristics, alloy system, processes, forms and applications. The employees represented all departments including human resources, marketing and sales, engineering and production. Employees left with a broad understanding of the manufacturing process and learned about the various
tempers and designations of aluminum along with commercial factors that influence buying behavior.

The course allows operators and engineers to apply what was learned in the classroom directly to their job, thus improving their knowledge and increasing productivity. The course was highly interactive with a lot of discussions between the employees and the trainers focused on specific questions related to the practices at the plant and how process and product improvements could be made focusing on continuous improvement.

Thank you to Skana Aluminum for their hospitality and participation! If you would also like to host a private class at your plant, please contact Todd Boggess at tboggess@secat.net or call him at 859-514-4989.
