In October, we launched our Employer Tours program with a visit to Hollaender Manufacturing Co.’s facility in Woodlawn. Thanks to our partnership with the Advanced Manufacturing Industry Partnership (AMIP), we had the privilege of touring the facility as part of their Manufacturing Month programming. Hollaender® is the leading manufacturer of high-strength, corrosion-resistant aluminum fittings and architectural railing systems. The Hollaender team welcomed us into their facility through a tour that offered a valuable look into the operations and product offerings of a leading manufacturing company in our region.

Known for its exceptional employee retention, Hollaender currently does not have any open positions. Hollaender’s commitment to retaining employees sets a high standard in an industry often challenged by high turnover rates. Their team’s success highlights the importance of cultivating a positive work environment with quality benefits, and we are grateful for the chance to learn firsthand what makes their company exceptional.

Thanks to the Hollaender team for sharing more about the products they make and what it takes to successfully deliver them to customers all over the world with our workforce partners.
