DOES YOUR CEO KNOW INJECTION MOLDING?

He Does At UFE — and So Does Every Other Employee That Works There, Thanks to the Company’s Use of Paulson Training Programs

UFE, Inc., Stillwater, MN USA
Key contact: Peter Strong, Training Manager
Custom Molder and Moldmaker — in business since 1953, seven facilities, approximately 450 employees, 125 injection molding machines up to 350 tons — custom molds small to mid-size parts for the automotive, appliance, computer, and medical industries.

With seven facilities (four in the U.S., two in Mexico, and one in Singapore) molding parts for a variety of industries, UFE set out to improve productivity by training its employees company-wide. With a goal of training all employees to insure consistency at all locations, the company has purchased and implemented almost all of Paulson Training’s injection molding programs. With its “Training-by-Position” program, every employee at the company is required to take the training classes and pass the tests – and that means everyone, including the CEO. Benefits of implementing the Paulson training methods include:
Improved understanding of injection molding for new employees — after joining the company, new hires are brought up to speed by being trained on the basics of injection molding, for a better understanding of the business

Improved quality training throughout the company — no “hit or miss” because of a shift or supervisor, but standardized classroom training for everyone at the company

“I truly feel that the Paulson programs have been a significant contributor to our training program by providing flexibility, accountability, consistency and high quality training across all of our plant locations. In addition, the new Paulson School of Molding is a valuable resource for combining classroom training with hands-on machine time, and we have already sent some of our employees to attend sessions.”
