(ITAMCO: Plymouth, IN) -- Indiana Technology and Manufacturing Companies (ITAMCO), provider of open gearing and precision machining services, has donated a Zeiss coordinate measuring machine (CMM) to the Precision Tool Manufacturing Training Program for high-school students.

The new machine is evidence of ITAMCO’s continuing support for the program that ITAMCO’s purchasing manager Mark Neidig proposed to the Plymouth School Corp.’s superintendent in 2013. The Zeiss DuraMax CMM will be added to the inventory of precision machining tools housed in the ITAMCO manufacturing center on the Plymouth High School’s campus in north central Indiana.

In addition to ITAMCO’s $100,000 initial donation and ongoing technical assistance, the North Central Area Vocational Cooperative and Ivy Tech are active contributors to the center. The North Central Area Vocational Cooperative contributed funds to purchase equipment, and the Precision Tool Manufacturing Training Program’s trainer, Scott Kaser, is an Ivy Tech employee. Students receive high-school credits and Ivy Tech college credits.
