Posted by

Hudson Fasteners, Inc., The Mahoning Valley Manufacturers Coalition and America Makes teamed together to bring Youngstown’s Manufacturing Day 2015 to fruition on Friday, October 2, 2015. With an emphasis on educating both students and professionals on manufacturing today and in the future, participants and hosts took part in tours of the America Makes facility located on the Youngstown Business Incubator campus. The day’s events began with an introduction by Cris Young, the executive vice president of Hudson Fasteners, Inc., pointing out that manufacturing in the United States is highly profitable and that manufacturing is essential to the local economy.

“There are almost 1,200 manufacturers in this region,” she stated, further explaining that manufacturing makes up almost eleven percent of all jobs in local counties and representing about $2.66 Billion in total earnings for the area. She acknowledged industrial manufacturing and noted that, with advancements in technologies such as 3D-printing, additive manufacturing and the Internet of things, there is potential for the millennial generation to become attracted to the industry. Closing out, Young encouraged, “cooperation and commitment amongst manufacturing, education, technology, business, the media and government to revitalize the City of Youngstown.” Mayor John McNally followed with equally encouraging words and presented Cris Young and Hudson Fasteners, Inc. with a proclamation declaring October 2, 2015, Manufacturing Day in Youngstown.
