Julie Copeland, CEO of Arbill, the national safety distributor based in Philadelphia, is a board member of the National Manufacturers Association (NAM), which annually produces Manufacturing Day, so it’s no surprise Arbill sponsored one of more than 2,730 Manufacturing Day events on October 6, 2017.
Manufacturing Day started in 2012 to celebrate all things manufacturing, address concerns and challenges of manufacturers, and inspire careers in manufacturing. It was created by founding partner Fabricators and Manufacturers Association International (FAM), and is now produced by NAM. FAM, NAM, the Manufacturing Institute (MI), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) help coordinate and promote the event.
