National Manufacturing Day has always been an important way for NJMEP to spread the word about the benefits that manufacturing provides to our Garden State. As a proud supporter of Manufacturing Day, NJMEP is excited to drive awareness of manufacturing, the career opportunities that are available, and the advanced technologies that are driving the industry. For us, every day is Manufacturing Day. NJMEP regularly celebrates manufacturing and inspires the next generation of manufacturers.
COVID-19 Response – The global Coronavirus pandemic disrupted nearly every industry and in-person event. NJMEP hosts Manufacturing Day, New Jersey’s largest Manufacturing networking event and this year we are taking the celebration online.
