Manufacturing Day (MFG DAY) is a celebration of what 12 million people around the United States experience every day—pride at working in manufacturing. In North Carolina, manufacturing is the largest employer, accounting for 10.9 percent of the total workforce and employing more than 438,000 North Carolinians. As the state affiliate for the National Association of Manufacturers, the NC Chamber is proud to represent and advocate for our state’s manufacturers, the engine of technology development and innovation in North Carolina!

On Friday, October 4, manufacturers across the country, including dozens in North Carolina, will participate in MFG DAY by opening their doors to their local communities and students. Supported by a group of industry sponsors and co-producers, MFG DAY is designed to amplify the voice of individual manufacturers and coordinate a collective chorus of manufacturers with common concerns and challenges. The rallying point for a growing mass movement, MFG DAY empowers manufacturers to come together to address their collective challenges so they can help their communities and future generations.
