Happy National Intern Day to our talented interns! Intervala managers celebrated our eight summer interns this week with a luncheon and some fun swag. This year’s class of interns supported a variety of departments, including engineering, human resources, accounting, quoting and purchasing.  

Intervala’s internship program runs from May to August and is a great way for college students to apply classroom theory to real-world scenarios. We want to thank our interns for all of their hard work completing various projects to support our business this summer! Best of luck in your upcoming school year! 

We had a blast hosting BotsIQ’s summer engineering campers this week at our Westmoreland County, Pa., facility! The 7th, 8th and 9th graders were treated to a facility tour and Q&A session led by our Director of Operations Joe Benz. It is always a pleasure and a privilege to partner with amazing groups like BotsIQ that sponsor and foster opportunities for students to discover, explore and learn about technology. BotsIQ is a nonprofit organization that provides students with opportunities to learn about manufacturing, and invites them to participate in exciting, hands-on activities.

Another success for Intervala and our quality system! Zero nonconformances were found in our Westmoreland County, Pa., facility’s recent AS9100D re-certification audit, validating the operation’s compliance with the aviation, space and defense industry’s highest standards for quality, safety and continuous improvement. Our commitment to quality is the cornerstone of everything we do at Intervala. Well done by our talented and dedicated team!

Kudos to our operation in Manchester, New Hampshire, for receiving its ISO 13485 certification, confirming the effectiveness of the facility’s quality management system for medical device manufacturing. Cheers and congratulations to the entire Manchester team for its continuous commitment to quality! Well done!

To commemorate Armed Forces Day, Intervala employees donated a variety of care package items for U.S. military service men and women serving around the globe. We’re sending an assortment of personal hygiene items and sweet and savory snacks to the soldiers of the New Hampshire Army National Guard’s 197th Field Artillery Brigade who are currently deployed overseas. We also collected 455 pairs of socks, which are a highly requested item from service members. Thanks to our friends Soldiers' Angels, every pair will make its way to one of our deployed soldiers! Intervala and our employees are honored to support our military heroes and thank them for their daily sacrifice.
