       Don Bosco Tech Gabutu, Port Moresby, PNG, 10 September 2021 -- On Wednesday, September 1, the Grade 12 MFM (Machine fitting and Maintenance) students from Don Bosco Technical School, Gabutu, had the opportunity to pay a visit to Papua New Guinea's leading steel fabrication and design company – Steel Industries.

       The students were accompanied by Mr. Kenneth Gonzales, Deputy for Technical, Br. Reto Wanner SDB, MFM Instructor and Fr. Angelo Fazzini SDB, Confessor at the school.

       We had the privilege to be toured by the Director Mr. Paul W. T. Speedy - New Zealand citizen. In 90 minutes he explained the entire development process of a product to us. From the idea, through the designing phase, to fabrication and final assembly at the customer's. The Stone age has passed a long time ago in Steel Industries.

       Today they are using the latest technologies in designing – like Computer-Aided Design CAD, Plasma- and waterjet cutting and FRAMECAD® system – the fastest way to design and build strong, durable steel framed buildings easily and efficiently. Not only could we see very interesting products, but we could touch them and some demonstrations were shown to us.

       The students were absolutely thrilled. Their eyes were shining and questions bubbled up like sources: Where did the material come from? How are steel pipes made? What is sandblasting? How does water jet cutting work? How is a frame made of sheet metal using the FRAMECAD®-Technology and many more questions quenched the thirst for knowledge. Almost inevitably, the question arose whether there were employment opportunities in this renowned company. Mr. Speedy assured the Bosconians benevolently about on the job training and employment opportunities. In these 90 minutes, everyone learned a lot more than in a whole term at school.

       We said goodbye to Mr. Speedy with deepest gratitude. We wish him all the best, God's richest blessings and every success for Steel Industries.

       Steel Industries started operations in Port Moresby in 1967. Today it has the largest range of steel products and fasteners in the country.
