BIG DAISHOWA to support local manufacturing with Tools for Schools program

For the second year in a row, customers who choose cutting tools, tool holders, and workholding products from BIG DAISHOWA will support their local manufacturing training programs at the same time.

From October 1 to December 29, 2023, BIG DAISHOWA will once again donate a tooling certificate valued at 20 per cent of every qualifying order to the buyer’s school of choice through the Tools for Schools program. Schools can redeem certificates for any BIG DAISHOWA products, including tool holders, boring tools, cutting tools, workholding products, and presetters.

Last year, the company issued nearly $30,000 in tooling certificates to high schools, vocational schools, colleges and universities.

“We are committed to workforce development," said Jack Burley, president/COO, BIG DAISHOWA. "This program allows our customers to support local communities by providing their future workforce with the same tools they use in their shops.

The following criteria is required to participate:

• The qualifying minimum order is $5,000 (earning a $1,000 tooling certificate).
• Place the order through your local distributor and request “Drop-ship from BIG DAISHOWA.”
• Reference “PROMO-BD-SCHOOLS” as a line item on your order.

Burley says that every dollar spent helps students develop skills they can apply in their careers.
