Vincennes University
Located in the Southwestern corner of Indiana, the small town of Vincennes has produced a number of ‘firsts.’ Indiana’s first newspaper was founded in Vincennes in 1799; its first university opened (Vincennes University) in 1801, and its first bank was established in 1814. Another first soon came in January 2011. Working in partnership with the Midwest Haas Factory Outlet and the Haas Technical Education Center (HTEC) Program, Vincennes University launched the world’s first HTEC instructor training program at the Indiana Center for Applied Technology. Providing a high level of technical training for those that will lead Haas Technical Centers throughout the United States was the goal.
Catamount Machine Works
Catamount Machine Works came to life on Memorial Day 2005 with the Indianapolis 500 playing on the television in the background. Owner Al Jenkins had installed the shop's first machine tool, a Haas VF-2 SS, a few weeks earlier and driven to Atlanta to pickup the tooling he needed. "That first job was a component for the communications industry,” explains owner Al Jenkins. “The buyer for that business basically talked me into starting my own shop.”
Macton Corporation
Manufacturing turntables large enough to rotate a restaurant or mechanical lift systems strong enough to pick up a railroad car might seem like a daunting task to many shops. For Oxford, Connecticut based Macton Corporation (http://www.macton.com) it is business as usual. They have been producing turntables, large lifting systems and hoists for automotive, railroad and architectural applications since 1947.
