Manufacturing Week 2024 and Central Minnesota Tour of Manufacturing
CMMA goals for Manufacturing Week are to educate potential employees about careers in manufacturing, tour local manufacturing facilities, assist manufacturers, and increase the value of CMMA.
We are again providing a virtual magazine highlighting in-person and virtual tours scheduled September 30-October 5, 2024, and throughout the year.
