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)
