DENSO invests $1.95 million to open technical training center in Michigan
DENSO, the world’s second largest mobility supplier, has invested $1.95 million to open the North Technical Training Center at its Battle Creek, Mich., facility. The center is designed to be at the forefront of automated and data-rich manufacturing, also known as Industry 4.0, and will act as a training hub for DENSO technical talent. It’s an urgent resource for the company as automotive and manufacturing technology rapidly evolves and is built with DENSO’s Long-Term Policy 2030 in mind, which aims to create new value for advanced mobility.
As the auto industry moves toward electrification and automated driving, DENSO is committed to providing innovative, tech-forward training grounds for its employees. DENSO’s Battle Creek training center is the third of its kind for the company, with others in Tennessee and Mexico. It will serve employees in technical fields, such as skilled trades, machine technicians and engineering. Employees identified for training will receive a customized plan to develop new technical skills, gain new understanding of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and improve production efficiency – all of which are key factors in boosting operational productivity and profitability.
