Forty years ago, a group of manufacturers and community leaders came together with a simple belief: manufacturing is stronger when we work together. That idea became Manufacturing Works. Today that community is hundreds of manufacturers, workforce partners, supporters, educators, and advocates across Northeast Ohio.

More Than a Celebration

Nuts & Bolts Bash Visual Identity with presenter

Join us for an evening of connection, celebration, delicious food, interactive experiences, and a few surprises along the way as we mark Manufacturing Works' 40th Anniversary.

For 40 years, Manufacturing Works has helped people connect, learn, lead, grow, and thrive. This anniversary is an opportunity not only to celebrate that impact, but to help create the next chapter.

Throughout the evening, guests will have opportunities to support Manufacturing Works' mission and contribute to the NextGen Fund, supporting the workforce, talent, and leadership initiatives that will strengthen manufacturing for years to come.

 

Thank You to the Organizations Helping Build Our Community

For four decades, Manufacturing Works has been strengthened by organizations that believe in the power of manufacturing and the importance of investing in people. We're proud to recognize the sponsors, partners, and supporters whose generosity helps make this celebration possible and whose commitment continues to strengthen our manufacturing community.
