“IT’S TIME TO LET ALL THE PEOPLE THAT YOU KNOW, including the people in your business, that manufacturing is cool. What we do is really cool. We don’t think about it because we live and breathe it every day. But start getting your neighbors, your teachers, your political leaders, your government officials, your county officials into your facilities and show them how much you contribute to the economy. Show them how important manufacturing is not only to your community but to the county, the state and the federal government. It’s time to re-educate the people that what we do matters, in a big way.”
~ Grady Cope, chairman of the National Tooling and Machining Association, Feb 14th at the North American Manufacturing and Invention Expo in Cleveland
Promote Your Company With An Open House
To help boost awareness of the importance of their businesses, manufacturers are encouraged to host tours and open houses on October 5. Please consider participating in this opportunity to showcase your manufacturing plant. Manufacturers can sign up at www.mfgday.com.
The goal is to have as many open houses as possible around the country on October 5 to raise awareness about what modern day manufacturing looks like and to spark interest in manufacturing careers.
The initiative is being produced by the Fabricators and Manufacturers Association, NIST MEP, and (to be officially announced soon) the National Association of Manufacturers.
It is sponsored by several MEP Centers, SME Foundation, and The Reshoring Initiative.
