Manufacturing Day

Manufacturing Day is on the first Friday of October and opens its doors to celebrate the success of the American manufacturing sector! The day was created not only for those who are part of the industry but also for those who observe it from afar. Today, people come together to discuss the importance of manufacturing processes at the local, national, and global levels.

History

The Manufacturers Association of America founded the holiday in 2012. The official proclamation was signed by Donald Trump in 2019, marking the start of over 200 successful events in the Midwest! These events were attended by the public, students, businessmen, teachers, and those passionate about the cause. Since then, the popularity of the holiday has grown, with the number of participants increasing exponentially. Fairs, exhibitions, factory tours, and seminars are held at the highest level. Many Americans look forward to announcements of what to expect from the founders in the coming year.
