Invest in MGA as a Sponsor or Manufacturing Champion
Become a Manufacturing Champion.
Small to medium sized manufacturers are the lifeblood to Michigan’s economy. As the largest sector in Michigan, making up 19% of the overall economic output, manufacturers take risks, create jobs and make the things that keep Michigan running. Without manufacturers and the next generation of manufacturers, Michigan’s communities would look vastly different. Manufacturing Champions are the few and the proud, unique leaders who want to give back to the industry that has given them so much.
Manufacturing makes up 14% of the state’s workforce, employing over 587,000 people. With your investment, they will receive the tools needed to grow their business and compete with manufacturers across the nation and beyond.
