Impact Institute Marine Service Technology Classes

The Impact Institute was formed by a joint service agreement between ten school corporations in Kendallville, Indiana in 1969. Today, Impact Institute offers 14 different career training programs, from welding and machining to medical technical training and marine service technology.

The Marine Service Technology program typically enrolls 25 to 32 students a year and is a two-year program open to high school juniors and seniors. It is the only program in the US to have earned the Marine Industry Certification. Instruction covers many facets of the industry including outboard and stern drive engine repair, repair and testing of stern drive lower units, steering mechanisms, hull repair and detailing, and shrink wrapping!

Ryan Ramsay, the instructor for the course states, "We bring in some customer's winterization and shrink wrap projects to make sure our aspiring marine tech students can successfully perform this procedure when they become employed at a dealership or work for a dealer through our internship program."

Well done, students of Impact Institute in the Marine Service Tech program!

A local Manistee-based shrink wrapping company, Lakeshore Shrinkwrapping, LLC, recently wrapped this roof to help prevent further damage to the rest of the home.

The roof was in such poor condition that the trusses will also need to be completely removed and the structure rebuilt. Until the homeowner can get a roofing contractor on-site to complete the necessary work, shrink wrap provides a temporary solution to help protect the home from the elements.

The installers used a 40' x 100' roll of 12-mil shrink wrap for this job. They made cuts at the roof valleys and secured the material with 1x2s to prevent it from lifting. The areas were then resealed with additional strips of shrink wrap to help maintain a secure, protective covering.

This project is a great example of how shrink wrapping can provide temporary protection and help prevent additional damage while homeowners prepare for more extensive repairs. Great work, Lakeshore Shrinkwrapping, LLC!

Thank you for sending in your installation photos! If you are in the Manistee or surrounding area and would like to inquire about Lakeshore Shrinkwrapping services, please call 231-655-3053 or email.

The Marine/Recreation industry is well-known for shrink wrap, but it's also one of the most seasonal industries. There are numerous opportunities to transform your seasonal shrink wrap business into a year-round, profitable venture.

Have you considered shrink wrapping for: modular buildings and data centers, roof repair and disaster restoration, material handling, trucking, equipment transportation and storage, industrial/manufacturing equipment, or construction and scaffolding containment?

The possibilities are endless. If an item needs protection from the elements, shrink wrap is the answer.
