Modern Manufacturing Careers

Over the years, the manufacturing industry has changed considerably thanks to the addition of advancements in technology, like automation. These changes have enabled industry employees to learn new skills and develop into exciting new job opportunities and advancements with the perfect use of innovation and technology. During Manufacturing Month, York Imperial Plastics is proud to show students, faculty, and administration from area elementary, middle, high schools and universities that manufacturing is where technology & creativity collide. We truly love sharing our knowledge and passion for the world of modern manufacturing with brilliant young minds.

We at York Imperial Plastics open our doors to middle schools, high schools, technical schools, colleges and universities around the region. For many students, a Manufacturing Month Tour may be their first time setting foot on a factory floor. York Imperial Plastics is proud to host students throughout the month of October with tours of our custom plastic injection molding facility where they learn all about our fully-automated manufacturing process.
