Stiles Machinery recently put on their biannual Manufacturing Solutions Seminar event in High Point, North Carolina, on June 11 and 12. The event brings together woodworking manufacturers, business owners, and industry professionals from across North America to participate in live machinery demonstrations, engaging presentations and interactive breakout sessions.
Held at Stiles’ showroom, the seminar allowed attendees to explore the latest trends, technologies, and strategies shaping the woodworking industry. Emphasizing innovation and automated technologies, the event featured demonstrations of compact cabinetry manufacturing, nested machining, and automated finishing, along with discussions about industry challenges, optimization software, and more.
Barry Kellar, president and CEO of Stiles Machinery, reflected on the seminar, stating, “It is a pleasure to work with so many different manufacturing customers, coming together to explore the future of our industry and solutions to the challenges it faces. 2025 marks the 60th anniversary of Stiles Machinery, and we are proud of the partnerships we have made and our ability to provide events like this year after year.”
As part of the company’s 60th anniversary celebration, Stiles held a giveaway both days of the event, with the winners receiving complementary enrollment in one of Stiles University’s in-person courses. Stiles University has trained more than 40,000 students since 1990, offering accredited education courses in manufacturing, software, automation, and more.
