JCIDC is excited to have five local companies — Cummins Seymour Engine Plant, AISIN USA Mfg. Inc., Guardian Bikes, Pet Supplies Plus and Valeo — participating in the 2025 Jackson County MFG Day on Oct. 10.
Nearly 200 students from Brownstown Central, Crothersville, Medora and Seymour high schools will gather at Cummins Seymour Engine Plant in the morning for workshops led by employees of the participating companies. Then in the afternoon, the students will break into groups and visit one of the companies for lunch, a tour and activities.
This event is part of the initiative of the Manufacturing Institute, the workforce development and education affiliate of the National Association of Manufacturers. Celebrated annually on the first Friday in October with events continuing throughout the month and beyond, MFG Day — Manufacturing Day — is a national grassroots movement that demonstrates the reality and future of modern manufacturing careers. Thousands of companies and educational institutions nationwide are invited to open their doors to students, parents, educators and community leaders.
MFG Day empowers manufacturers to come together and address their collective challenges and build excitement about manufacturing careers to help their communities and future generations thrive.
