The impact of manufacturing on America can be seen in the good jobs it provides, the strength of the economy, and the products built in communities around the nation that enable and enrich our everyday lives. We celebrate manufacturing’s impact and the MEP centers across the country working alongside small and medium-sized manufacturers to make an impact on their people and operations.

Manufacturing Day falls on Friday, October 4th this year.

Edge Factor tells stories of extraordinary people. Impact is a collection of insights from the leaders we met along the way.
