Samco Machinery Hosts Take Your Kids to Work Day to Inspire the Next Generation of Manufacturers!

Samco Machinery, a leading Toronto-based manufacturer of roll forming equipment, recently welcomed employees’ children for a special Take Your Kids to Work Day aimed at introducing young minds to the world of manufacturing. The event offered students a firsthand look at where their parents work and provided an opportunity to explore the engineering and production processes behind Samco’s advanced roll forming solutions.

President Bob Repovs emphasized the importance of events like this in shaping future career aspirations. He noted that giving children early exposure to manufacturing environments can spark interest, build curiosity and create lasting memories. By opening its doors, Samco offered participants a unique behind-the-scenes experience—from machine fabrication to assembly and engineering—showcasing the innovation and technical expertise that drive the company’s daily operations.

Throughout the visit, children toured the facility, observed real-time production activities and learned how different teams collaborate to build high-performance roll forming systems. They also spent part of the day shadowing their parents, providing them with a personal and meaningful understanding of the work that goes into designing and manufacturing industrial machinery.

For Samco Machinery, the event reflects a broader commitment to community engagement and workforce development. By inspiring the next generation and helping them appreciate the possibilities within modern manufacturing, the company continues to support the long-term growth and vitality of the industry.
