Manufacturing Day has been celebrated annually on the first Friday of October throughout the United States. Events show-off American ingenuity, the most popular facilities, and some of the most innovative products produced by American manufacturing companies. These events are attended primarily by high school students, but all are welcome, whether you’re a parent, teacher, local leader, or joe-average-citizen.

With manufacturers looking to fill 4 million high-skill, high-tech, and high-paying job positions over the upcoming decade, MFG Day provides a platform for industries to collaborate and tackle common challenges while generating enthusiasm about manufacturing careers to support their communities and benefit future generations.

Long gone are the days of dirty factories and plants with under-skilled and under-represented employees. Today’s manufacturing environments include well-trained, high-productivity associates using ultra-modern equipment, in competition with the best of the best in the world. 

All that said, the “most pressing issue” American manufacturing faces is skilled labor. Four out of five companies are in desperate need for highly-trained and highly-skilled workers, many times needing to fill highly-technical positions. 

Manufacturing Day is a “grassroots” movement determined to change all that here on our own turf, and AccuformNMC is proud to be a part of the Manufacturing Day movement.

By presenting our facilities to the local community, and showing them just what it means to be the industry leader in facility identification in North America and beyond, we can help spread the word about what it truly means to be a technology innovator, and proudly display “Safely Made in USA” on all of our AccuformNMC solutions.

Happy Manufacturing Day 2024 from AccuformNMC!
