What an incredible way to celebrate 30 years of NJMEP!

This year’s ‘MADE in NJ’ Manufacturing Day was especially meaningful as hundreds of manufacturers, industry partners, legislators, students, and supporters joined us to celebrate New Jersey manufacturing, NJMEP’s 30th Anniversary, and America’s 250th.

The energy throughout the day was incredible. From keynote presentations exploring labor statistics and the history of manufacturing to industry-focused breakout sessions, we wanted the program to reflect the many different conversations shaping manufacturing today.

We celebrated our ‘MADE in NJ’ Manufacturing Day Award finalists and winners, showcased our workforce team and training capabilities, and even gave attendees an opportunity to get hands-on with welding equipment.

Most importantly, we brought our manufacturing community together.

A huge thank you to our sponsors, speakers, exhibitors, partners, staff, and everyone who joined us and helped make the day possible.

For 30 years, we’ve had the privilege of supporting New Jersey manufacturers. After a day like this, we’re more excited than ever for what comes next.

A manufacturing project may start as a real estate search, but it quickly becomes about power, water, wastewater, freight access, workforce, incentives, permitting, suppliers, and time. ⏰

Choose New Jersey works with companies at no cost and in confidence as a single point of contact, pulling in state agencies, utilities, local officials, and schools.

At NJMEP's Made in NJ Manufacturing Day, our Chief Business Development Officer, Bill Noonan, gave this advice: call early. “Don’t wait until the search is complete."
