Today is National Manufacturing Day—and it’s also officially Arkansas Manufacturing Day! We were honored to join Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders and manufacturing leaders from across the state as she issued a proclamation recognizing the vital role manufacturing plays in driving Arkansas’ economy, creating jobs, and shaping our future. This recognition comes on the heels of the first-ever Arkansas Manufacturing Showcase, where for the past two days, manufacturers, educators, and leaders came together to highlight the strength and future of Arkansas industry. Manufacturing is strong in Arkansas—and today, we celebrate the people and companies that make it happen. #NationalManufacturingDay #arkansasmanufacturingday

About us
The Arkansas State Chamber of Commerce/Associated Industries of Arkansas is the leading voice for business at the State Capitol and serves as the primary business advocate on all issues affecting Arkansas employers. Our mission is to promote a pro-business, free-enterprise agenda and prevent anti-business legislation, regulations and rules. We work on issues that affect state businesses and their employees around the clock. In Washington, D.C. and right here at home. The State Chamber is the advocate for business on issues such as tax reform, immigration reform, health care, regulatory issues, education and workers’ compensation. Supporting the State Chamber is an investment in Arkansas’s future. By working with the State Chamber, businesses unite and achieve goals that simply would not be possible if each were working alone. The State Chamber understands that a competitive business environment is not possible without an educated and competitive workforce. Workforce development is a substantial and worthy undertaking, and continues to be a priority for us. Now more than ever, business matters to our nation’s future. Business must have a friendly environment to insure our future economic prospects. In the global economy, our competitive capacity must be all it can possibly be – and the State Chamber works every day to make that happen. We encourage you to join us. We need your support. Help us continue to make a difference for Arkansas.

The inaugural Arkansas Manufacturing Showcase is off to a strong start! Last night’s kickoff set the tone with a fireside chat on the role of automation in the future of manufacturing. This morning, we welcomed Congressman French Hill and keynote speaker Harry Moser of the Reshoring Initiative. Their remarks highlighted both the opportunities and challenges manufacturers face today — and the critical role Arkansas plays in keeping production competitive here at home. Thank you to our speakers, sponsors, and the 85 exhibitors who are making this event possible!
