JAMESTOWN - Jamestown Business College (JBC) students recently left the walls of their classroom behind to tour TitanX, an international supplier of medium and heavy duty diesel engine cooling solutions.
As part of the visit, students from JBC's Global Business Perspectives class received a first-hand look into how a Jamestown-based plant conducts business across national borders to meet customer needs and demands.
TitanX Human Resources Director, Andrew Johnson, provided students with a brief orientation followed by a tour and presentation on the company's international operations. He also showed students TitanX's quality control test equipment that puts their products through real-life environments.
