October Marks Manufacturing Month

October is recognized as Manufacturing Month, providing an opportunity to highlight Illinois’ manufacturing history and the industry’s significant role in the state’s economy.

According to the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association (IMA), manufacturing employs more than 660,000 men and women across Illinois and generates an annual economic impact of more than $580 billion.

Manufacturing remains a cornerstone of Illinois’ economy and continues to be an important source of jobs, investment and economic growth across the state.

As part of Manufacturing Month, the IMA and Illinois Manufacturing Excellence Center (IMEC) have launched their annual “Makers on the Move” bus tour, which travels across Illinois to visit manufacturing facilities, educational institutions and community centers while highlighting the industry’s contributions to local communities and the state economy.

Now in its fifth year, the statewide tour will make 30 stops, beginning in Decatur.
