Micro has announced the addition of Mike Failing to the Business Development team as of January 2017. He will focus on Micro's prototype tooling and machining customers. Mike has 22 years of manufacturing experience at Micro including 8 years managing the CNC team. He is already using his passion and knowledge to work strengthening relationships with Micro's current customers. Mike looks forward to using his extensive manufacturing knowledge to benefit other companies who need Micro's precision manufacturing services.

Rapt students listened to Micro Instrument Corporation CNC Manager Mike Failing speak about parts he had engineered that are now on Mars. It was part of this year's Advanced Manufacturing workshop at the Middle School for fifth-and-sixth-graders. The Career Exploration Workshop series began last year and was a huge success.  Students are able to choose an area of interest, like Advanced Manufacturing, and then connect with a variety of visiting experts from different areas in that field.  It's a great opportunity to begin to explore options for the future.

Micro continues to support Manufacturing education with class tours and events like this one. Micro also supports several vocational open-houses to encourage careers in manufacturing like those offered through our well respected apprenticeship programs.
