The Methods Center of Excellence is a 7,000-square-foot facility that features hands-on programs focused on technical, electrical, mechanical and product training for Methods’ nationwide customers and team members. The facility also welcomes next-generation manufacturers and engineers from area schools to support the region’s access to industry trends and technologies.
Methods and builder-partner, factory-certified product experts from around the U.S. and Japan lead training and courses that cover the full range of Methods’ machining, applications and engineering portfolio.
In addition to the Center of Excellence, event attendees access the large showroom to view demonstrations, meet with product experts and learn about Methods services. A Methods Student Day event for area educators and students will be hosted on Friday, April 10.
