Manufacturing Day is a celebration of modern manufacturing. This day has inspired thousands of manufacturers to open their doors to show the public modern manufacturing in action and inspire the next generation of skilled workers. Manufacturing Day also gives companies an opportunity to tell the company’s story, dispel any outdated myths about manufacturing, and discover what else is being made in your community.

For the second year, Lenawee County participated in Manufacturing Day. This year, the number of students participating was approximately 400, nearly double that of last year! Each student participating in Manufacturing Day had the opportunity to talk with two local companies before enjoying a lunch with peers and industry representatives.

Anderson Development welcomed several students on October 5th for Manufacturing Day. The students were provided a tour of our R&D facilities as well as the production plant meeting many chemists and engineers. It is our mission to help students learn about the many opportunities within manufacturing so students can see how we apply what they learn in school, the types of materials we produce and the types of potential career opportunities are available to them within the chemical manufacturing industry.
