Welcome to our new Instron Community Blog hosted by Instron. It is a compilation of the freshest, brightest, most-talented minds that Instron has to offer. The world of materials science is so vast and encompasses the broadest range of industries, materials, and challenges that no one person can possibly possess all the knowledge required to be the resident expert – or master of materials science. It takes a small army behind the scenes collaborating and sharing technical know-how, experiences, and ideas to present the most accurate, relevant, and timely information to you – our readers.

We invite you to tell us who you are, share your stories and talk about your experiences. Join the Instron Community.

A Day of Caring

We find it important to stay active in our communities, to do what we can as individuals and as a company to help those in need. Over the course of  two days, we had 18 employees take a leave from work and assist a local organization - Girl's Inc. - in converting their living room into a technology center.

"This new technology center will allow Girls, Inc to run classes surrounding cyber bullying, social media safety, and math/science/engineering," said Christina McMahon, Instron Assistant Controller. "The first day of our project was a huge success. The passion, leadership & teamwork I witnessed are a fundamental reason why I love working at Instron."

Girl's Inc has been providing mentoring and the building blocks for young women to succeed and be “strong, smart, and bold” for 100 years.

Does your organization participate in community events? We’d love to hear your stories ………
