Manufacturing Day by the Numbers

Manufacturing Day (MFG Day) is the day when manufacturers open up the minds of the next generation, inspiring more young people to come and join the manufacturing team. MFG Day addresses common misperceptions 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. By working together during and after MFG DAY, manufacturers will begin to address the skilled labor shortage they face, connect with future generations, take charge of the public image of manufacturing, and ensure the ongoing prosperity of the whole industry.
