Okuma America Welcomes LEAD Upperclassmen for National Manufacturing Day

On National Manufacturing Day, Okuma America Corporation was proud to open its doors to a group of LEAD upperclassmen, providing them with an inside look at the exciting world of modern manufacturing.

The visit offered students an engaging and inspirational experience — from exploring Okuma’s advanced CNC machine technologies to learning about the diverse career paths that exist within the manufacturing industry. Through hands-on demonstrations, facility tours, and conversations with Okuma team members, the students gained valuable insight into how innovation, engineering, and teamwork come together to shape the future of production.

For Okuma, hosting the LEAD Forward students was more than just a tour — it was an opportunity to help inspire the next generation of manufacturing leaders. The energy, curiosity, and thoughtful questions from the students made the day a memorable one for everyone involved.

We extend our thanks to the LEAD Forward program for including Okuma in this important initiative and for their commitment to helping young people explore new possibilities through education and networking.
