HAGERSTOWN, MD (October 31, 2024) – As the Washington County, MD Department of Business and Economic Development concludes Manufacturing Month in Washington County, MD, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to our diverse and outstanding manufacturing community. Throughout October, we celebrated the importance of our local manufacturing sector with four inspiring videos showcasing just a small slice of our exceptional manufacturers and their products. These videos aimed to motivate the next generation of skilled workers and shine a spotlight on modern manufacturing.

A special thank you to Conagra Brands, Fives Landis Corp., Hub Labels, Inc., and IKO – Northeast for launching this video series which highlighted the incredible opportunities within our industry. Your contributions have showcased how manufacturing is not just vital but also an exciting career path that serves as the backbone of our community.
