Today, the state is celebrating Ohio’s manufacturers. Each year, Manufacturing Day (MFG Day) is held on the first Friday in October in order to show students, parents, and the public what modern manufacturing is all about.

The fourth industrial revolution is rapidly changing our world. New advanced manufacturing technologies bring about whole new careers, requiring a skilled workforce interested in pursuing them. From bioengineers to data analysts to robotics technicians, and all of the operations in between, there is a place for everyone in manufacturing.

Together with the National Association of Manufacturers, The Manufacturing Institute, Manufacturing Extension Partnership Centers and federal agency partners, the Manufacturing USA network celebrates the manufacturers who make the products that keep us safe, enrich our lives, strengthen our economic and national security, and provide countless opportunities for our communities and workforce.

Several events are being held across Ohio today with others scheduled for the coming days. Learn more about MFG Day.
