What is Manufacturing Day?

Manufacturing Day highlights the importance of manufacturing to the nation‟s economy and draw attention to the many rewarding high-skill jobs available in manufacturing fields. Through open houses, public tours, career workshops and other events held at participating facilities, we hope to introduce as many people as possible to the important role played by manufacturing both in local communities and for the nation.

“This celebration of manufacturing is a chance for all of the great manufacturers who ‘Make it in America’ to show their value to their communities,” said Roger Kilmer, director, Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP)

Manufacturing Videos

"If you think it's the old Ford assembly line, you haven't been staying in touch with manufacturing. Manufacturing has a home for almost everyone..." Listen to the manufacturing is cool video and see what else this manufacturing leader has to say. Or watch manufacturers from Connecticut get together to create a "call Me Maybe" parody in honor of Manufacturing Day.
