Manufacturing companies across the country are continuing to have trouble finding skilled and semi-skilled workers to fill open positions, and the plastics processing industry is no exception. Just ask Danny Rose, General Manager at Tennplasco, a custom injection molding company and division of Manar Inc., located in Lafayette, TN.
“Like many other manufacturers out there, we have been struggling to get workers in our factory, especially on the off shifts,” said Rose. “The truth is, there are not a lot of people in our area looking for injection molding jobs, and if we don’t have people showing up to work, we can’t operate.”
