\"\"<\/p>\n

Sixth grade students from Pavilion toured several businesses during their annual nanotechnology\/robotics tour with stops at GCEDC, Chassix and Post Farms on Friday.<\/p>\n

Video News Service caught up with the students as they learned about Chassix, an automotive parts company located on Federal Drive in Batavia.<\/p>\n

Chassix produces safety critical parts like steering knuckles, posting arms and control arms for automotive companies and automotive suppliers.<\/p>\n

Chassix employs 130 people and produces 3 million products a year with $80 million in sales<\/p>\n

Chassix originally started out in LeRoy as LeRoy Machine. In 1999 they were purchased by a husband\/wife team out of Michigan.<\/p>\n

In 2002, the company moved to its current location moving 10 production lines from the LeRoy location.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

About 50 kids experienced what the production floor was like and were able to view and handle Chassix products first hand as the products came off the lines.<\/p>\n

“Manufacturing has died off over the years,” says Plant Manager Doug Smith.<\/p>\n

“There really isn’t a skilled work force in manufacturing anymore, especially in machining. Now we are CNC machiners so there is a lot of automation and robotics. We are looking for people with good work ethic that show up everyday and are drug free, just like at school.”<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Pavilion Central Schools has partnered with the BEA(Business Education Alliance), who organized the tour as part of the Stem Career Days for students in grades 6-9th grade. The district has been involved with the program for about 4 years.<\/p>\n
