Rotochopper recently hosted several student groups to tour its factory in conjunction with the Central Minnesota Manufacturers Association virtual tour of manufacturing as part of Manufacturing Month.

The tour gave visitors an inside look into the rise of automation and robotics in Rotochopper’s manufacturing facility and its equipment products.

Several student groups in the region toured the company’s plant. They included the West Stearns CEO (Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities) group, the Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa (BBE) high school welding class, and the Kimball high school small engines class.

Rotochopper also participated in EPIC (Exploring Potential Interest & Careers) with several employees meeting with students to talk to them about careers in welding and manufacturing. Rotochopper donated the steel state of Minnesota cut outs and platforms used for the hands-on welding project.
