WFW Industries, LLC (San Diego, CA), a U.S. veteran-run provider of state-of-the-art manufacturing, welding/fabrication, machinery repair and customized training, received the 2015 Manufacturing Award from the San Diego Business Journal for “Best Community Service.” The inaugural program honors companies and individuals within the San Diego community in the manufacturing industry that have a strong presence in the local economy and continuously show dedication to its communities.

“We take pride in our mission to make a difference in the lives of those who served and prepare veterans and wounded warriors for advanced manufacturing careers,” said Hernàn Luis y Prado, the founder of WFW Industries. “There’s a great demand for skilled manufacturers in the U.S. and our goal is to help those have an easier time in transition. We are building a better, stronger future for veterans, their families and the U.S. economy. We’re honored to be recognized by our peers for the work we’re passionate about.”

Profits from WFW industries support Workshops for Warriors, a non-profit that provides veterans and injured vets with training in CNC machining, CAD/CAM programming and welding. Since 2011, 194 veterans and wounded warriors have been trained on-site and received more than 500 third-party nationally recognized credentials, with 100 percent of graduates obtaining jobs in advanced manufacturing.
