NCI’s Executive Director, Senator William Wampler, Jr., retires from state service.
NCI unveils a one-of-a-kind academic coater as part of its advanced manufacturing center. The machine combines performance film coating, drying, lamination and web dynamics with academic features, and will be used as part of the Center for Advanced Film Manufacturing (CAFM) program. Speakers at the unveiling of this asset included U.S. Senator Tim Kaine.
NCI and PHCC completed the first year of the Center for Advanced Film Manufacturing (CAFM) with 12 students who are guaranteed a job interview with Eastman.
CAFM program at NCI provides new series on “Web Dynamics” for employees to learn the science behind their work in performance films and how to better detect and resolve problems in production.
Community leaders from Martinsville and Henry County highlight the CAFM program and the area’s collaboration at an annual meeting of the Southeastern Council of Foundations (SECF).
