About Manufacturin Works
For over 30 years, Manufacturing Works has provided manufacturers in Northeast Ohio what they need to grow and prosper. They do this, in part, by providing the guidance and knowledge that help manufacturers understand the fast-changing trends in technology, talent, and organizational leadership.
The other part of what they do is create a self-supporting community. Specifically, they connect businesses and industry leaders to resources—and each other—while getting them more engaged within their local communities. By partnering with industry leaders, the Manufacturing Works leadership team gains in-depth knowledge about the challenges the region's manufacturers face and establishes connections to the wide-ranging set of solutions offered by local subject matter experts.
