The first Friday of October marks Manufacturing Day! October is Manufacturing Month — a nationwide initiative that shines a spotlight on the incredible contributions of manufacturers across the country. In Ohio, where manufacturing remains the backbone of our economy, this day is more than symbolic — it’s a tribute to the innovation, resilience and craftsmanship that define our state’s industrial spirit.

The Ohio Manufacturers’ Association is proud to support this movement and encourages all members to participate in local events, share their stories and engage with their communities. Whether through plant tours, career fairs or classroom visits, every interaction helps build awareness and appreciation for the vital role manufacturing plays in our lives.
