Recently, the Whitko Career Academy's Welding and Precision Machining program students were given the opportunity to take facility tours of Purity Cylinder Gases Inc. in Warsaw.

The tours were coordinated by the WCA and inside sales representative Eli Wise, according to a news release from Whitko Community Schools. The tours began with a welcome and presentation of the general history and types of products produced, distributed and sold by Purity Cylinder Gases Inc. and was led by Regional Branch Manager Chris Bowman.

After transitioning to the production facility, Mark Harman, fill plant operator, and Wise took the first student group and provided a unique view of the separation and bottling operation, while stressing the value of supply chain management and customer service.

Next, the group was introduced to the pumping station and the technical theory that makes it successful. This discussion also involved the use and distribution of medical grade gasses in the greater Warsaw area. The tour guides also noted the role of robotics as it applies to the welding industry and advanced manufacturing.

The tour concluded in the show room with a question-and-answer session that spurred great discussions about the importance of employability skills and the possibilities of apprenticeships and internships within the regional welding industry.
