We had another amazing site visit this morning to Caterpillar in Pontiac. We spent most of our time with Mr. John Yoder of human resources. He shared the history of Pontiac’s engine systems plant and gave us a grand tour of this enormous facility. With close to one million square feet of factory space, it definitely took us some time to see all of this facility. John did an excellent job in showing and explaining to us the injectors, catalytic, and aftertreatment systems that they produce for Caterpillar engines. We even spent some time in their training center with Tim Taylor and his team. Tim explained the behind the scenes training that takes place for all new employees. From taking fine machining measurements to reading blueprints, Tim explained the processes used at CAT. Thank you John, Tim, and team for showing us what you do at this leading global company! Thank you so much Caterpillar Pontiac!
