Hmm almost got my BS in IT no room to move up.

I'm guessing it was an engineer not production staff.

Today is the day we usher in spring! It might be a tad chilly to roll your windows down just yet, but it won’t be for long!

In honor of Women’s History Month and #internationalwomensday, we’re celebrating a couple influential women in the automotive industry!

You can thank Dr. June McCarroll for the painted road markings delineating our roads today. It was June’s idea to paint lines down the center of highways to separate lanes of traffic as a safety measure. After campaigning for 7 years, McCarroll convinced the California State Highway Commission to authorize the painting of center lines on highways in 1924. This practice was quickly adopted across the country and around the world.

In 1943, Helene Rother became the first automotive designer when she went to work for General Motors’ interior design team. She specialized in upholstery colors and fabrics, lighting, door hardware, and the shape of seats and helped transform the basic style of vehicles to something more elegant. In 2020, Helene was inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame.

We had so much fun celebrating Engineers Week with local 5th graders recently! We learned all about industrial engineering and what it takes to design efficient assembly lines. We challenged students to a pen assembly activity and talked all about efficiencies, ergonomics, bottlenecks, quality checks, sub assemblies, walk patterns, cost analysis, problem solving and so much more. Thank you to Crestwood and Wenz elementary schools for having us! ... See MoreSee Less

Beth Sanders works at the Paris Illinois facility. She also lives in the rental apartment across the street from our purchased home in Marshall and she has brought her family dysfunction into our neighborhood and in September she had a festival of hatred at her home that lasted 10 hours and our family was the target. Use caution when coming into contact with these North American lighting employees. youtu.be/HAfZ2rvVsbQ beth Sanders hate crime/hate parade at my home in sept. youtube.com/playlist?list=PLY3RK26XdGwgpWKuKkJ0IZM6AWPXE5ErW
