Are You Providing Your Employees With All The Tools They Need?

Hammers and screwdrivers are not enough. And on-the-job experience is acquired at your production’s expense. Your mechanic needs professional training to help you maximize plant productivity.

Union Special’s Technical Training Center offers the hands-on courses that will give your mechanic the skills to quickly diagnose and remedy sewing problems. As a result, your equipment is back on-line faster, operating at maximum output, and with the quality you need to stay competitive.

“There is something for everyone”. For both the novice and the experienced, TTC courses are open not only to mechanics, but also to supervisors, engineers, management, QC, Sales, and executive personnel. The courses are ideal for anyone who desires to further their knowledge and understanding of stitches, seams, and the machines that produce them.
