H&H Tools Benefits From Skilled Trades Training Fund Grant

H&H Tool is a Tier II Automotive Supplier of precision machined fluid connector parts and supplies a majority of vehicles in North America.

They were concerned about staying competitive and realized they needed to improve their processes/equipment. They recently invested $4,000,000 in six new Makino CNC milling machines and had an immediate need to update the skills of their team leaders, managers, maintenance and set-up technicians for the new equipment.
