The class was able to tour Cardinal Glass, where they learned the different types of glass and how it is manufactured. Prototype Solutions Group, Inc., showed us how this state-of-the-art technology with their craftsmanship produces the product their clients are looking for. Andersen Corporation Manufacturing showed the students the window manufacturing from start to shipping and shared all the options a homeowner has with Andersen Corporation Manufacturing. American Structures, Inc. showed the class how the stainless steel storage tanks are built from the ground up. Custom made hardware is used with each project to produce a quality product. Thank you Cardinal Glass for providing water, student information folders, a gift and paper products. Thank you Andersen Corporation Manufacturing for serving us lunch. Thank you American Structures Inc. for providing us with custom made key chains and gauges. Also thank you for the water, coffee and cookies, and student information folders.
