Tennessee is a hotbed of manufacturing. We are so proud of our state! As of 2017, nearly 350,000 Tennesseans were employed in manufacturing. During this time, the state exported nearly $32 billion worth of manufactured goods.

Additionally, at a national level, U.S. Manufacturing Technology Orders totaled $383.8 million in October 2020, an increase of 3.7% from September 2020. “All metrics point to a continuation of economic recovery in the manufacturing technology sector,” said Douglas K. Woods, president of AMT (the Association for Manufacturing Technology).

The past 24 months have seen an even greater shift to onshore manufacturing. With the recent COVID crisis, it has become even more important to invest in US-based manufacturing. The growth in our industry is certain as more companies are starting a shift to onshore production.
