泰纳瑞斯向阿肯色东北学院捐赠四台机器人 并设每年5个奖学金名额
钢管企业泰纳瑞斯（Tenaris）10月21日在 Blytheville 的阿肯色东北学院举行活动，宣布向该校捐赠四台机器人，估值约20万美元，另加1万美元用于安装与调试费用。公司同时新设奖学金计划，每年资助五名学生攻读先进制造、钢铁技术等工业类学位。
泰纳瑞斯美国总裁 Guillermo Moreno 与学院院长 Christopher Heigle 共同出席宣布仪式。Moreno 说，投资教育是支持社区与产业未来的重要方式，东北学院是公司在密西西比县二十年来最长久的合作伙伴之一；Heigle 表示，四台机器人将融入工业维修与钢铁工业技术等学分课程的实操训练，让学生直接接触现代工厂使用的技术。国会议员 Rick Crawford 发表声明，称该校是州内钢铁与制造业的重要伙伴，这笔捐赠有助于学生获得现代设备经验、壮大劳动力管道。
此次捐赠适逢泰纳瑞斯收购希克曼焊接钢管厂二十周年；公司自2006年进入密西西比县以来持续支持当地教育，其课后学术项目累计已有2260多名学生完成、投入逾440万美元，今年「罗伯托·罗卡奖学金」又向45名学生发放了逾11万美元。
Tenaris Donates Four Robots to Arkansas Northeastern College, Adds Five Annual Scholarships
Steel pipe maker Tenaris announced on October 21 at Arkansas Northeastern College in Blytheville that it is donating four robots valued at about $200,000, plus $10,000 for installation and commissioning. The company also created a scholarship program funding five students a year in industrial degree programs such as advanced manufacturing and steel technology.
Tenaris US President Guillermo Moreno and college President Christopher Heigle appeared together at the announcement. Moreno said investing in education supports the community and the industry's future, calling the college one of the company's longest-standing partners in Mississippi County over 20 years. Heigle said the robots will be integrated into hands-on training in industrial maintenance and steel technology courses. U.S. Representative Rick Crawford said in a statement the donation will help students gain experience with modern equipment.
The gift coincides with the 20th anniversary of Tenaris's acquisition of the Hickman welded pipe plant. Since entering Mississippi County in 2006, the company has put more than $4.4 million into after-school academic programs completed by over 2,260 students.
