It’s THAT time again, when we pause once a year to reflect on the importance of manufacturing. Here in WNY, we have a proud history of manufacturing success from our Curtiss-Wright to Bethlehem Steel to General Motors. Today manufacturing still provides 1 of every 10 jobs (about 65,000) in the five counties and over $9 billion in gross product. So if you see a manufacturer today, tell them to keep up the good work, and if you’re a manufacturer, thank you!
