HUTCHINSON, Kan. (September 25, 2019) – Superior Boiler will open its doors to the public from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Manufacturing Day, October 4, to demonstrate its cutting-edge manufacturing processes. The nationwide Manufacturing Day celebration aims to inspire the next generation of manufacturers.
“The lack of manufacturing workers is the most urgent need our industry faces,” said Superior Boiler CEO Doug Wright. “Manufacturing jobs offer interesting work and average wages of more than $20 per hour nationally. By hosting a Manufacturing Day event, Superior wants to introduce people of all ages to the promise of a manufacturing career. Our event also will give community members a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at Superior’s day-to-day work.”
Those who visit Superior Boiler Works on Manufacturing Day will see:
- A brief presentation about the history of Superior Boiler and its mark on the boiler industry.
- Engineering support functions using CAD and 3-D software applications for manufacturing.
- CNC (Computer Numeric Control) machines used in pressure vessel manufacturing.
- Superior’s state-of-the-art CNC Bridge Mill Machining Center.
- Personnel in highly skilled welding operations.

Personal Protective Equipment, including safety glasses and hearing protection, will be required and provided. Persons planning to tour also should not wear sandals, flip-flops or other open shoes.
Opening their doors on Manufacturing Day gives manufacturers an opportunity to address the industry’s skilled labor shortage, connect with future generations, take charge of manufacturing’s public image and ensure the ongoing prosperity of American industry. The rallying point for a growing mass movement, Manufacturing Day empowers manufacturers to come together to address their collective challenges in order to help their communities and future generations thrive.
