Manufacturing Day is Friday, Oct. 2, kicking off a month of activities celebrating an industry that drives Ohio’s economy, supports hundreds of thousands of jobs and creates opportunities in communities across the state. The Ohio Manufacturers’ Association (OMA) wants to showcase how our members are marking the occasion.

From plant tours and student visits to employee celebrations and community partnerships, manufacturers are opening their doors, recognizing their people and introducing the next generation to modern manufacturing. These activities offer a firsthand look at the innovation, technology and career opportunities that define today’s industry.

Throughout October, OMA will spotlight member celebrations across our communications channels, highlighting the people, facilities and partnerships that make Ohio a manufacturing powerhouse.

We want to hear from you. Email Dave O’Neil your event details, photos and highlights so we can help share your story. 10/2/2026
