Why are we hosting this event?

Maryland manufacturing is a wealth-producing industry that should be expanded to strengthen our state’s economy. We are working to increase support for manufacturers to make them more profitable, more tech-driven, and to provide access to a qualified workforce. Maryland manufacturing offers livable wages with benefits and a high-tech working environment, stability for communities, and revenue to grow our economy. Without increased manufacturing growth, economic prosperity for all Marylanders will decrease.
