Monoflo interns gain hands-on experience with summer internships
A vital part of our internal culture at Monoflo International is the availability of training and professional progression opportunities, and that includes our summer internship program.
What is the Monoflo Summer Internship Program? There are many different career paths in manufacturing, from Production and Maintenance to Customer Service and Accounting. The goal of Monoflo’s summer internship program is to give interns valuable insight into all the opportunities available so they may better understand how they want to focus their education and pursue a career when they are ready to enter the workforce.
Our internship program is mutually beneficial as interns begin to build their resumes and gain valuable experience from skilled mentors that they can apply in their future roles, while Monoflo gets a first look at some of the talented people preparing to enter the job market. Many of our interns return to Monoflo after graduating as full-time employees, so it’s a win-win.
Monoflo’s 2022 Summer Internships in Review As the summer draws to an end, so do our 2022 summer internships. This year, Monoflo had six interns join our team to gain hands-on experience related to their individual areas of interest in Sales, Engineering, Maintenance, Human Resources, and Production. We were able to catch up with one of those interns before she headed back to college in Washington, DC.
“It was a great experience learning from experts in the industry. I got the chance to help the inside sales and marketing teams and discovered that I have a passion for Sales! I hope to come back next summer and continue to utilize and grow my skill set.” – Anna, Monoflo International Summer 2022 Intern.
We wish Anna and all of our interns the best of luck in the coming school year and in their future careers.
Monoflo recently completed its latest expansion project, Stonewall Production, that involved converting 32,000 sq. ft. of its 150,000 sq. ft. warehouse space into production space and will be housing six additional injection molding machines. The Krauss Maffei machines are going to be manufacturing products in their automation product line, including Stack Only Containers that are in use in ASRS warehouses across the country.
What does this expansion mean for the future of Monoflo?
Ashly Hawkins, Operations Manager, said the expansion showcases the growth of the company stating, “The addition of Stonewall production has given us the ability to produce more products in growing market segments. By incorporating automated technology in the production cells, we are able to provide a more consistent product to our customers, which stems from the ability to control each operation from beginning to end.”
This is the second major production facility expansion completed in the last year, as the company completed the construction of a 22,000 square foot “Imboden” production hall in 2021. This investment included the addition of five production machines that operate 24/7 to support increased demand and offer decreased lead times to customers.
Headquartered in Virginia, with additional manufacturing facilities in Kansas and Mexico, Monoflo continues to invest in state-of-the-art technology and equipment to provide essential products to several top Fortune companies.
