Haas Automation Supports WorldSkills France 2011

Haas Automation was honoured to be the official supplier of machine tools for the CNC turning and CNC milling events at the 41st WorldSkills France (Olympiades des Métiers) National Competition, 2011. Like a cross between a trade fair and a large-scale sporting competition, WorldSkills France was, for the hundreds of young people from all over the country who entered, an occasion to remember for the rest of their professional lives, whether they or not they won their discipline. This year's event took place in Paris from February 3rd -- 5th at the Porte De Versailles exhibition centre and was hosted by the Île-de-France region. Young apprentices competed in 48 different skills: everything from bricklaying to plumbing to precision engineering.
