National Manufacturing Day was established last year to “expand knowledge about and improve general public perception of manufacturing careers and manufacturing’s value to the U.S. economy.” As part of the celebration, manufacturers open their doors to students, parents, educators and media members, among others, to educate the public about manufacturing’s processes and careers available in the field.
