Superwoman Donna Burns

This month we celebrated a key Genesis Plastics Welding employee who has been one of the biggest proponents of our team over the years. Some of our largest customers have affectionately called her ‘The Queen of Making It Happen’ and ‘Superwoman,‘ and we happen to agree!

She has been a critical footing to our Genesis Plastics Welding foundation, and a key element to how we have made it to where we are today as a leading RF welding contract manufacturer. We will forever be grateful for her contributions.

This Queen of Making It Happen and Superwoman is the one and only Donna Burns. For over 12 years she has been a central part of the Genesis Plastics Welding team, serving over a decade as production manager and then in the last year as a special projects team member. Read more

Manufacturing Day Every Day

Many of us are all too familiar with the phrase “skills gap.” The manufacturing industry needs more skilled workers to fill its growing number of high-tech jobs. With all of the opportunity that exists in a manufacturing career, it’s a surprising fact that only 30 percent of parents are encouraging their children to enter the field.

Passing down a passion for manufacturing begins with manufacturers themselves…and parents. At Genesis Plastics Welding, we invest in the future of manufacturing through, workforce development, a robust internship program, educational opportunities and outreach to the community. Encouraging and recognizing students who have an interest in manufacturing is a crucial part of combating the skills shortage, securing a strong future for manufacturing and being champions for the industry.
