Mississippi Haas Tech Center Opens at Jones County Junior College

Haas Factory Outlet, a Division of Machine Tools, LLC (aka HFO/Louisiana) will host the official grand opening for its all-new Mississippi Tech Center at Jones County Junior College (JCJC) on Wednesday, November 15, from 10 AM to 5 PM. The new Haas Tech Center is located within the JCJC campus, 900 S. Court St., Ellisville, MS.

"We are very excited about this new facility and the partnership we have put together with Jones County Junior College," said Patrick Kane III, General Manager of HFO/Louisiana. "Mississippi manufacturers visiting this facility will not only be able to see the latest machine tool technology, but will also see Haas' commitment to training the next generation of machinists, which is equally as important."

Jones County Junior College was established in 1911 as Jones County Agricultural High School and has been offering college level courses since 1927. The Precision Manufacturing and Machining Technology program at JCJC offers an instructional program that prepares individuals to shape metal parts on machines such as lathes, grinders, drill presses and milling machines.

During the Grand Opening Celebration, there will be live cutting demonstrations on a wide variety of American made Haas CNC machine tools. Featured technology includes the Haas ST-30Y multitasking turning center integrated with a Haas barfeeder, a Haas VF-3YT vertical machining center with extended Y-axis travel and a Haas DT-1 high-speed drill/tap machining center.
