FOLEY, Ala. - Sept. 25, 2018 - PRLog -- In celebration of National Manufacturing Day on Friday, October 5th, leading Alabama-based manufacturer, Vulcan, Inc. plans to welcome in over 185 local students to get an in-depth view of the various career possibilities within the manufacturing industry.

Planned activities range from employee-led tours of the 32-acre campus to seeing the 5 manufacturing operating plants in action, to interactive simulations for students to try their hand at a host of manufacturing tasks.
