Twilight Program Celebrates

National Manufacturers
The Twilight Program celebrated National Manufacturers Day by
touring the Rosenberger Thoth, North America plant here in
Pennsauken, New Jersey. At the Rosenberger plant, parts for
satellites and radar systems are manufactured. The tour consisted
of visiting 8 different manufacturing stations and demonstrations of
various processes used in key departments and labs. Students
were also able to talk with both managers and apprentices about
pursuing Blue Tech professional careers.
