A Nationwide Celebration of Makers
Manufacturing Day…
is a national initiative that puts a spotlight on manufacturing. In New Mexico, it’s a month-long spotlight on New Mexico-made products and the 30,000 New Mexicans working in the manufacturing industry. It’s an opportunity to enhance public knowledge about the economic impact of manufacturing in our state, highlight resources, and introduce students to careers in manufacturing.
Celebrated every October, events include tours of manufacturing facilities and presentations that demonstrate the vast range of products made in New Mexico. Many events are open to the public. Download the 2024 flyer and read Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s Manufacturing Month 2024 proclamation.
If you are a manufacturer, please consider hosting a tour in 2025 to show students the exciting careers that await them. Download the Host Toolkit and email us at mfgday [at] NewMexicoMEP.org to put your company on the Manufacturing Day map. Introduce a student to manufacturing and make an impact on the next generation of manufacturers! This is why it’s important. Events will begin organizing in August of 2025.
