No welding experience? That doesn’t mean you can’t become a welder. 👏

At Morton Industries, our Weld Training Center gives people the opportunity to learn from the ground up—while also giving experienced welders a place to continue developing their skills.

It’s hands-on training. Real opportunities. And a chance to build skills that can turn into a career.

Whether you’re making your first weld or working to better your best, there’s always room to grow at MI. 💥

The doors were open. The conversations were great. And now—the follow-ups are rolling! 👏

Since our Open Doors + Open Interviews event this past weekend, we’ve been busy making calls, scheduling second interviews and extending offers to some future Morton Industries team members!

Thanks again to everyone who stopped by, met our team and took a look inside MI. We loved getting the chance to meet you—and we’re excited about what comes next!

Here’s one more look back at a great day. 🎥

🎉 450+ attendees. 275+ interviews. One AWESOME Saturday at Morton Industries!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for our Open Doors + Open Interviews event this past Saturday!

Around 450 people came through our doors to see what Morton Industries is all about — touring our facility, meeting our team and exploring opportunities to build a career with MI. We also completed approximately 275 interviews throughout the event! 👏

Between the plant tours, open interviews, refreshments, free MI swag and some pretty awesome door prizes, there was a lot of energy in the building — and we loved every minute of it.

📻 And a BIG shoutout to The Greg & Dan Show for joining us and broadcasting LIVE from our plant! Thanks for helping us bring even more energy to the day and share what’s happening at Morton Industries with our community!

Most importantly, we had the opportunity to meet so many great people and show them firsthand what it's like to be part of the Morton Industries team.

At MI, our purpose is to improve lives through security, opportunity and partnerships — and events like this are one more way we're putting that purpose into action.

Thank you to everyone who attended, The Greg & Dan Show, and our incredible MI team who worked behind the scenes to make the day such a success! 💪

What. A. Day.

Fast bikes. Big crowds. A Blackstone up for grabs. And plenty of people finding out just how tough the MI Pull-Up Bar Challenge really is. 💪😅

Safe to say, the Peoria TT was a good time.

We were proud to sponsor this year’s race at the Peoria Motorcycle Club and spend the weekend connecting with so many people from our community. Thanks to everyone who stopped by the Morton Industries tent and got in on the action—and to Peoria Motorcycle Club for putting on an awesome event! 🏁🏍️

Until next year, Peoria TT!

LAST YEAR’S LEADERBOARD. 👀
Tomorrow? Everybody starts at zero.

Morton Industries is BACK for another year at the World Famous Peoria TT — and the MI Pit Stop is coming in hot. 🏁🔥

We’ve got:

💪 The infamous MI Pull-Up Bar Challenge
👕 A whole NEW lineup of MI swag
🎟️ A FREE raffle for something pretty sick
🎤 And rumor has it… Weldon Sparks might just find his way back to the mic. Say your prayers!

Think last year’s leaderboard looks beatable? Come prove it.

We bend metal for a living. Apparently, we also spend our weekends publicly questioning your upper-body strength.

That’s Morton Industries. 😎

Swing by the MI Pit Stop TOMORROW at the Peoria Motorcycle Club. Grab some swag. Get in the raffle. Hit the bar. Have a good time.

BRING IT. 💪🏁
