Fronius USA LLC, a leading manufacturer of welding power sources and solar inverters, is continuing its long-standing support of Pennsylvania College of Technology by renewing an entrustment agreement.
The company has extended for two years an entrustment of 10 iWave 300 machines for the college’s renowned welding program. Fronius supplied the units two years ago to replace technology that the company had entrusted in 2019.
Pennsylvania College of Technology welding students are benefiting from the long-standing support of Fronius USA LLC, a leading manufacturer of welding power sources and solar inverters. The company has extended for two years an entrustment of 10 iWave 300 machines, advanced industrial systems that facilitate multiple welding processes.
The machines are 300-amp, advanced industrial systems that facilitate multiple welding processes.
“These Fronius machines provide the latest and greatest technology that industry is offering right now. The machines are a vital part of the hands-on training we do here at the college. Without this entrustment, the students would not have the opportunity to use this technology,” said Michael R. Allen, instructor and co-department head of welding.
All welding students who complete a two- or four-year degree will operate the units in the college’s 55,000-square-foot welding facility.
“We are grateful to Fronius for their continued and generous support of our welding program,” said Shanin L. Dougherty, senior corporate relations officer. “This cutting-edge technology is instrumental in preparing our students to be successful and workforce-ready graduates.”
Headquartered in Portage, Indiana, Fronius USA is a Penn College Corporate Tomorrow Maker and member of the Millionaires Society ($1,000,000+) on the college’s Donor Wall.
“We believe in making sure the next generation of welders and engineers has the technology available to not only succeed but excel during their education,” said Jasen Friedrich, USA director of sales and marketing for the Perfect Welding business unit at Fronius USA. “The welding and fabrication engineering technology program at Penn College has nothing but a stellar track record for producing beyond-capable engineers, which is why we have employed so many here at Fronius USA.”
