The event is co-produced by the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association, International (FMA), the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), The Manufacturing Institute, the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP), and Industrial Strength Marketing (ISM).

"We are so proud to be partnered again with this national event and we hope that Manufacturing Day, along with our powerhouse HOW IT'S MADE marathon, will inspire others to take a fresh look at the manufacturing industry."
