We’re starting a series this week learning more about our employees, the true heart of HGR. Today, we’re talking to Mike Boateng, the Inventory Supervisor for our Euclid, Ohio location.

HGR Celebrates Manufacturing Day
Today is Manufacturing Day, and we’re celebrating at HGR! Held on the first Friday in October each year, the community comes together to celebrate innovation, hard work, and education in the manufacturing sector. We are honoring the day with a 5-day sale with savings of up to 40% on a wide selection of industrial surplus.
HGR buys industrial machinery and manufacturing equipment and our online marketplace and local showrooms consist of thousands of tools, equipment, and machines that directly come from or would benefit manufacturers. From robots that can streamline production through automation, to CNC machines and other large manufacturing equipment designed to increase productivity and inventory, you can find everything you need at HGR.

A new venture for Amazon, Thursday Night Football is exclusively shown on Amazon Prime Video, and on its first night received over 15.3 million viewers.
