When Matthew Hard neared graduation from Auburn University's Samuel Ginn College of Engineering, he thought he'd end up somewhere like Atlanta, Charlotte or Nashville.

"Like many of my classmates, I thought I would leave Auburn," says Hard, who graduated in 2017. "I just didn't think there was much of a possibility of something here in my career path. But Berghoff came, and it was a natural progression."

Hard is now project manager for Berghoff Precision Machining USA, part of the Germany-based Berghoff Group.
