ELGIN, Ill., Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Nuts, Bolts & Thingamajigs®, the Fabricators and Manufacturers Association’s charitable foundation, is proud to announce a partnership with Feralloy Corp., a subsidiary of Reliance, Inc., headquartered in Chicago.
This co-branded partnership will help educate young students and encourage them to pursue manufacturing careers. Feralloy’s gift will support 25 co-branded Summer Manufacturing Camps hosted at partner schools and organizations located near Feralloy facilities in 2025, reaching as many as 500 youths next year. The camp programs’ purpose is to help develop the next-generation skilled workforce.
The partnership also includes support of the foundation’s scholarship program, which awards scholarships twice each year to students pursuing degrees or certifications that will lead to manufacturing careers. Feralloy employees and their dependents will receive priority consideration on scholarship applications in the fall 2025 and spring 2026 award seasons.
Carlos Borjas, president of Feralloy Corp., remarked on the partnership, “It is gratifying to see the progress the FMA has made in carrying out its foundation’s mission. Their results have positively impacted many industries, communities, and families by promoting manufacturing as a career of choice.
Feralloy and GH Metal Solutions feel honored to support the FMA in continuing its noble mission. We are looking forward to starting this partnership to expand their manufacturing camps and their scholarships. We hope that other companies follow us in an effort to preserve and expand the manufacturing industry in North America.”
“We are delighted to have Feralloy’s support for our scholarship and manufacturing camp programs,” Foundation Director Ed Dernulc said. “This partnership exemplifies one of NBT’s primary goals—working with industry leaders to attract and build the manufacturing workforce of the future. We’re grateful that a company like Feralloy is helping us to achieve these goals with their generous gifts.”
