NCI to host Manufacturing Day event at locations in Mississippi and Tennessee

In celebration of Manufacturing Day on Oct. 6, 2017, NCI Building Systems Inc., a manufacturer of metal products for the nonresidential construction industry, will open two of its manufacturing facilities to the public from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

As part of an ongoing effort to promote the strength of U.S. manufacturing and increase awareness of the outstanding career opportunities in the field, NCI will host open house events at its manufacturing locations in Elizabethton, Tenn. (Metal Building Components), and Jackson, Miss. (Metal Coil Coating). Each event will include tours of the facilities, presentations from company leaders, and question and answer sessions. NCI has 35 manufacturing facilities located in the U.S.

"With over 3.5 million new manufacturing jobs being created over the next decade, it is increasingly important to educate communities about the career opportunities in this field and the social significance these businesses play in the U.S. economy,” said Donald R. Riley, president/CEO of NCI Building Systems Inc. “The demand for highly skilled professionals who can design, program, and utilize modern technology only continues to increase.”

Manufacturing Day is produced by the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM). To register for an NCI Manufacturing Day event or to get more information on Manufacturing Day, visit www.mfgday.com.
