Manufacturing Day producers collaborate with Canada’s Manufacturing Month organizers

The co-producers of Manufacturing Day^SM have announced a collaboration with the Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters (CME) to expand the annual celebration of manufacturing across North America.

CME declared October as Manufacturing Month in Canada, and the organization is committed to supporting the development of manufacturing open house events across all provinces throughout the month. This includes the development of special plant tour guides created specifically for manufacturers in each of the provinces. Those guides have been shared from CME’s Manufacturing Month portal (www.mfgmonth.ca) and posted on the Manufacturing Day website (www.mfgday.com) in a special Canadian resource section.

Manufacturing Day was developed to improve public perception of manufacturing and is supported by thousands of manufacturers as they host students, teachers, parents, job seekers, and other local community members at open houses designed to showcase modern manufacturing technology and careers.

Manufacturing Day co-producers in the U.S. include the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association Intl. (FMA), the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), the Manufacturing Institute (MI), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP).
