The Manufacturers’ Council of the Inland Empire (MCIE) announced that Titan Gilroy of TITANS of CNC will speak at the 7th Annual Manufacturers’ Summit in February. Gilroy will present on engaging the next generation of manufacturers.
TITANS of CNC is an aerospace machine shop in Rocklin, California. Titan founded the company in 2005, and it has since become a premiere manufacturing company in Northern California because of the guaranteed quality and ingenuity of his products.
His passion for the manufacturing community lead him to create the TITANS of CNC Academy. “Titan has an inspirational story to tell,” said Debbie Smith, Event Chair. “He is working to promote manufacturing to young people as well as the ‘Made in America’ mantra.” Titan frequently speaks at schools to educate students on the opportunities in manufacturing careers and to offer students the chance to learn valuable skills.
His experience, passion for the manufacturing industry, and success prompted MCIE to invite him as speaker for the 2018 Summit. “We Have the Tools We Need to Rise to Manufacturing Greatness,” said Titan when asked about his reason for attending the event. “We will engage our youth, lift up our shops, and raise our collective skill level. In 2018, we will compete together!”
