Manufacturing Day Welcomes American Foundry Society and Mastercam as Bronze Sponsors for 2015
ROCKFORD, Ill., – The roster of Manufacturing DaySM 2015 sponsors has added two key supporters as the American Foundry Society (AFS) and Mastercam recently pledged their support to this national movement at the Bronze-level. American Foundry Society renewed their sponsorship for the third year and Mastercam is a sponsor for the first time.
Manufacturing Day sponsors provide the resources to support manufacturers participating in the program, a grassroots effort by U.S. manufacturers to improve public perception of manufacturing in America by coordinating awareness-raising activities at a variety of locations across the country on October 2, 2015.
Manufacturing Day is an annual national event, executed at the local level, that supports hundreds of manufacturers across the nation as they host students, teachers, parents, job seekers and other local community members at open houses designed to showcase modern manufacturing technology and careers. A panel of co-producers comprised of the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association, International (FMA), the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), the Manufacturing Institute (MI), the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP), and guest producer Industrial Strength Marketing (ISM) provide the centralized support necessary to coordinate this nationwide array of simultaneous events. The national media partners for the event are Edge Factor and the Science Channel and the national movie partner is American Made Movie.
“The co-producers are grateful for the support of these companies, which are so dedicated to serving the manufacturing sector with their unique services,” said Ed Youdell, president and CEO of the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association. “They help manufacturers on a daily basis and understand the challenges these companies face. Their support and encouragement of their members and client companies to participate in Manufacturing Day will help to generate participation across the nation. We also appreciate the focus that both organizations have on inspiring young people to pursue manufacturing careers. Both of these sponsors will also be hosting their own events on MFG DAY.”
