Last Thursday Delphi where Paul works had an open house where employee’s friends and family could take a tour of the facility. In the 12 plus years Paul and I have been married I have never had the opportunity to see where he spends his days – this was very exciting from me, to get to share in that part of his life. Paul is a mechanical engineer and works at Delphi in Rochester, NY.We walked along a 1.2 mile track seeing all the different departments and how automotive parts are engineered, manufactured, quality checked and sent off to various customers. We watched a punch press shape a piece of flat metal into a part, screw machines take a piece of metal rod and turn it into another car component and Injection mold machines create nylon shells. The floor space of the facility is 1.9 million square-feet, no wonder it takes Paul 15 minutes to walk across the plant.
Two of the things I found most impressive were the white room and clean room. Knowing that this plant within a plant was built in a short period of time and some of what went into the construction of it – I just wasn’t prepared for how clean and sterile it looked. I am so proud of Paul and was so happy to get a chance to see him in his element.
A big thanks to Delphi for holding the open house.
