Tour time! Ludlow was happy to have students from Waukegan High School’s Sparkforce Camp in to learn about all the things we do with metal. Students said their favorite was the lasers and robotic CNC machines. We proudly supported Waukegan’s Spark program by providing all the materials they needed for camp.

April is Internship Awareness Month. One word describes what this month means to us, and that word is: THANKFUL.

With great interns like Riley, we have the opportunity to see their talent and develop the future of our industry. We're so thankful to be part of internship programs that grow the skills of interns like Riley!

At Ludlow, we continue to update our methods by seeking out the newest technologies and processes; all with the goal of servicing our clients better.

These are a few of the technologies we have added recently. The robotic track welder (top) will perform a variety of welding tasks with high precision and efficiency. Our machining department has added two robots, who will operate at high speed with quick tool changes and precision machining. We thank all our employees who are working hard to install and integrate these automated technologies into our processes.

Great safety tips for everyone in our industry as we continually assess our practices and keep our teams' safety at the forefront of our priorities:

Operators must adhere to specific safety measures and use appropriate PPE to mitigate the inherent risks associated with laser and plasma cutting.

Can't wait to see you again this summer, Drew! Meet our Welding Engineering Intern Drew Schmidt, who is currently studying at Ferris State University in Michigan. He joined us last summer and then came back during winter break, and we were so grateful for all his valuable contributions. Thank you for your hard work and positive attitude, Drew!
