BERLIN â The first ever state regional welding competitions were held simultaneously Friday at White Mountains Community College in Berlin and the Novel Iron Works in Greenland.
Students from Berlin and Littleton High schools and the Lakes Region Technology Center took part in the competition at the White Mountains Community College. Both sites were linked together via Zoom throughout the day-long competition with the top three winners from both competitions advancing to the statewide competition in Manchester later this month.
The Seacoast competition was co-sponsored by Great Bay Community College and Arc Source and hosted by Novel Iron Works. The competition at WMCC was co-sponsored by the college and Capone Iron North Woods of Berlin.
BERLIN â Stephen Capone, president of Capone Iron Corporation, is a strong proponent of buying American and proudly advertises that his company produces steel made in this country âcreating American jobs, generating American tax dollars, and supporting the American economy.â
He was passing out hams to his employees at the North Woods facility at the Berlin industrial park the Friday before Easter.
âWe do this every Easter and turkeys every Thanksgiving in appreciation of our employees,â he said.
Even then, Capone stays true to his commitment to buy American.
âWe buy our turkeys from near where our Rowley (Mass) office is - a place called Tendercrop farms in Newbury Mass,â Capone said.
