Fact Friday: Growth in U.S. Manufacturing

It’s Friday and this week we have a big fact for you: Manufacturing in the United States has grown at the fastest pace in three years! This fact comes from a very positive new report released by the Institute for Supply Management (ISM).  The report determined that the pace of growth in the U.S. manufacturing sector rose in August to its highest level since March 2011. According to a Reuters poll of economists, the factory activity numbers exceeded many economists’ expectations. This booming growth in manufacturing provides a perfect backdrop for the 2014 FABTECH show. Want to see evidence of the strength of U.S. manufacturing?  Look no further than this year’s FABTECH show!  With 27,000 attendees and 1,400 exhibiting companies all under one roof, the show offers visitors the opportunity to experience live equipment demonstration, find cost savings solutions, and network with industry peers throughout the 500,000+ square feet of show floor throughout the A, B, and C buildings at the Georgia World Congress Center. Want even more?  The show also provides learning opportunities beyond the exhibits with over 100 educational sessions and expert-led presentations on the latest industry trends and technology in the metal forming, fabricating, welding and finishing industries.
