Manufacturing Day welcomes SPI as Silver sponsor for 2015

The Manufacturing DaySM co-producers have announced that SPI-The Plastics Industry Trade Association has pledged its support to this national movement at the Silver level. This is the third consecutive sponsorship year for SPI.

Manufacturing Day sponsors provide the resources to support manufacturers participating in the program, a grassroots effort by U.S. manufacturers to improve public perception of manufacturing in the U.S. by coordinating awareness-raising activities at a variety of locations across the country on Oct. 2, 2015.

Manufacturing Day is an annual national event, executed at the local level that supports hundreds of manufacturers across the nation as they host students, teachers, parents, job seekers, and other local community members at open houses designed to showcase modern manufacturing technology and careers. The co-producers—the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association Intl. (FMA), the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), the Manufacturing Institute (MI), the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP)—and guest producer Industrial Strength Marketing (ISM) provide the centralized support necessary to coordinate this nationwide array of simultaneous events. The national media partners for the event are Edge Factor and the Science Channel, and the national movie partner is American Made Movie.
