Last Friday, manufacturers across the United States celebrated Manufacturing Day, also known as MFG Day, by opening their doors to showcase the potential of modern manufacturing. It’s a day meant to celebrate modern manufacturing and inspire the next generation of manufacturers.
This year, eight L&P locations hosted MFG Day activities:
- Carthage Spring in Carthage, Missouri
- Ennis Spring in Ennis, Texas
- Monroe Spring in Monroe, Georgia
- Pegasus in Middletown, Connecticut
- Flex-O-Lators in Carthage, Missouri
- Davidson Plyforms in Grand Rapids, Michigan
- Genesis Seating in Grand Rapids, Michigan
- Adjustable Bed – Spring Hill in Spring Hill, Florida
Among these participating branches, we welcomed over 1,200 guests! Some notable distinguished guests included Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp, State Senator Bill Cowsert, and State Representative Vernon Jones at Monroe Spring. Flex-O-Lators welcomed Missouri Senator Ron Richard, Missouri Chamber President Dan Mehan, former MO Representative Tom Flanigan, and Chad Massman, Project Manager for the Dept of Economic Development.
