Bosch Rexroth contributes over $420,000 to Greenville Technical College
Bosch Rexroth has committed more than $400,000 worth of training
equipment to Greenville Technical College, in addition to a $20,000
Bosch Community Fund grant, to support the creation of a mobile
hydraulic lab and Greenville Technical College lab curriculum. Through
donations such as this, Bosch continues to assist educational
institutions in developing science, technology, engineering and math
(STEM) skills of the next generation.
"Finding technically skilled associates has become one of the most
pressing issues in our business, especially as we expand to meet the
needs of our customers," said Berand Bracht, president and CEO of Bosch
Rexroth Americas. "Greenville Technical College has worked with us
closely to establish programs that address critical need. The
top-of-the-line training equipment is a further, significant step in
making the training center even better. We are eager to see how the lab
develops, and look forward to a continued close partnership with
Greenville Tech."
The new facility, accommodating 18 individuals, will be used for
hydraulic technology training, hydraulic performance testing and
industry research. The lab will be housed at the Buck Mickel Center on
campus.
