COMMUNITY
Supporting Our Local Communities
Our team is committed to helping make the communities we live and work in a better place. Giving back isn’t just the right thing to do – it’s core to our identity at Wauseon Machine.
From teaching local students about engineering to building homes for families, our team members volunteer their time and talents to make a difference. We want to work with people and businesses that share our passion for inspiring goodwill.

Educator “Bootcamp”
Wauseon Machine prides itself in strengthening our communities through the development of local talent. That's why we are a participant in "Educator Bootcamp" through the Fulton County Economic Development Corporation and Northwest Ohio Education Service Center.
This program provides educators with the opportunity to tour local businesses and learn what career paths are in their “backyard” and what skills their students need to be successful in them.

Wauseon Machine team members proudly participate in the Relay for Life movement, dedicated to helping communities attack cancer.
