Dates for Uponor’s Factory Training in Apple Valley, Minn. are now available and ready for registration. And with the addition of two new trainers and easy online registration, professionals in the HVAC, hydronic heating and cooling, plumbing and fire safety industries have even more reason to take advantage of this valuable, educational, learning tool.

Headed by Training Manager Mary Beth Manninen, the Uponor Factory Training program is now better than ever with the addition of industry veteran Wes Sisco as senior trainer and HVAC, hydronic and plumbing professional Steve Swanson as customer trainer.

“This new training team gives us a broad array of talent in radiant, plumbing and fire safety expertise,” says Manninen. “Wes’ background in the industry and hands-on field experience working alongside installers, coupled with Steve’s extensive knowledge in the trades and Josh’s training and curriculum development expertise, allows us to offer our customers a training experience that’s second to none.”
