Darco was honored to host Pamela Hunter, Assemblymember for the 128th District of the NYS Assembly. Ms. Hunter took time out of her schedule to tour Darco and see what CNC machining is all about. She observed various jobs in progress and spent time talking with our employees to find out who we are, what we do and how we do it.

Darco gave five college students a leg up on their summer employment options. It was a good introduction to the world of manufacturing and CNC machining in particular. An added benefit, noted one student, was that the job gave her greater confidence to ask questions and learn new things. We enjoyed their energy, enthusiasm and sparkle and we wish them the best as they continue their studies. Good luck Mamta, Jessica, Graham, Mark and Pat!
