Burr Ridge, October 10, 2019
CNH Industrial (NYSE: CNHI /MI: CNHI) hosted
U.S. Congressman Ron Estes (R-Kansas) at the CASE Construction
Equipment and New Holland Construction manufacturing facility in
Wichita, Kansas, on Manufacturing Day, October 4. Manufacturing Day
is a celebration of modern manufacturing meant to inspire the next
generation of manufacturers.
Rep. Estes, who serves the 4th Congressional
District of Kansas, took part in a roundtable event with employees
discussing the need for skilled labor and the multi-faceted career
opportunities in modern manufacturing. Afterward, he toured the
plant and was shown the progress made on the newly created
production line, which will produce the innovative Minotaur, a
hybrid dozer/loader. Following that, Rep. Estes operated a CASE
compact track loader built at the plant.
The Wichita site was established in 1974 and
covers 46,000 square meters, housing both skid steer loader and
compact track loader product manufacturing and dedicated Research
& Development. The site employs over 400 people, exports
to national and international markets and has Silver Level
certification in the World Class Manufacturing (WCM) Program.
Michael Petersen, CNH Industrial plant manager,
led the tour and roundtable discussion. “It was a great honor to
welcome Congressman Ron Estes on Manufacturing Day and discuss the
challenges our industry faces. Manufacturing has seen a renaissance
and evolved with new technologies and innovations. The products we
design and build in Wichita are high tech and we need more skilled
labor than ever before. Thus, it is vital to improve the public
perception of manufacturing to attract talent.”
Rep. Estes said, “It was exciting to spend
Manufacturing Day at CNH Industrial’s Wichita plant and see the
progress they have made on the Minotaur line firsthand, having seen
the Minotaur previously as a prototype. We discussed the importance
of a skilled workforce, especially in this booming economy, and I
hope that Manufacturing Day highlights the exciting opportunities
that modern manufacturing has to offer right here in the 4th
District.”

to raise awareness for the many rewarding career opportunities in
manufacturing and to connect with local communities.
