Local company donates wood to carpentry students at Warren County ATC

BOWLING GREEN, Ky.- Bowling Green Company The Continental Machinery Movers are donating their excess wood to Warren County Area Technology Center. 

The company wants to support students and donate the wood to be used for hands-on learning in their carpentry program. 

The company specializes in installing machinery and equipment, material handling lines, dismantling and relocation, specialized hauling and industrial rigging. 

Daniel Tinsley, who does business development for the company says that this will help both the students and the company, so it’s a win-win for everyone, he said. He hopes the students will even consider working for the company someday.

“They’re learning some of these trade skills that are going to be very important in our economy moving forward so they’ll be able to take the scrap wood and make construction projects from it and utilize it to learn some skills. Hopefully one day they can check us out and we can hire them to do some of our work here,” said Tinsley. 

Continental works with Bowling Green’s manufacturing, distribution, and construction companies, but their footprint extends throughout the United States and into Canada and Mexico.
