October 7th 2016 is the 5th anniversary of MANUFACTURING DAY℠ celebrated every first Friday of October in the USA, several Canadian provinces, Mexico and Puerto Rico.
The idea for celebration was to “address common mis-perceptions about manufacturing by giving manufacturers an opportunity to open their doors and show, in a coordinated effort, what manufacturing is — and what it isn’t.
It was designed for the purpose to amplify the voice of individual manufacturers and coordinate a collective chorus of manufacturers with common concerns and challenges, empowering them to help their communities and future generations thrive.
