As the calendar marches inexorably toward October, Pima County is gearing up for its annual celebration of Manufacturing Day. It’s a chance for the students to peek behind the curtain of businesses pushing the technological envelope. The initiative, as reported by Pima County Newsroom, is a joint effort between Pima County Community & Workforce Development, Pima County Economic Development, the Pima County School Superintendent’s Office, and the City of Tucson Office of Economic Initiatives.
Local agencies have already started the planning process well in advance to ensure a seamless and inspiring experience for high school students who will explore an array of manufacturing businesses in the area. Among these, Evaero—a firm specializing in precision parts for the aerospace and defense sectors—stands out for its products, and its commitment to a set of time-honored principles. “Do the right thing. Do what you say. Do more for less,” was the guiding motto of its immigrant founders, Wilhelm and Elsbeth Früh, a sentiment that continues to underscore the company ethos.
Given the high-stakes nature of its components, Evaero takes great pride in its meticulous four-point inspection process, ensuring that each part meets the company's, and more importantly, the client’s exacting standards. This attention to detail goes hand-in-hand with the company's internal culture. With an average employee tenure of over eight years, Evaero benefits from the kind of expertise and commitment that forges strong, lasting relationships with suppliers and customers alike.
As Manufacturing Day approaches, keep an eye out for more stories emerging from the production lines and innovation hubs that are shaping Tucson's economic landscape.
